Papal Audience are held on Wednesdays if the Pope is in Rome, giving pilgrims and visitors the chance to “see the Pope” and receive the Papal Blessing or Apostolic Blessing from the successor of the Apostle Peter during their visit.
The Audience with the Pope consists of small teachings and readings mainly in Italian but also in English, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese and sometimes other languages depending on groups visiting.
The Pope will do a greeting in each language and special visiting groups, Choirs etc from various countries will get a mention.
At the end of the Audience the Pope will pray together with those attending the Audience, the Our Father prayer in Latin. This Prayer is normally printed on the back of the Papal Audience Ticket.
At the end of the Prayer as Head of the Catholic Church he will impart his Apostolic Blessing upon the crowd which also extends to loved ones that are sick and suffering and blesses any religious articles such as rosary beads that people have brought with them for the purpose of the blessing.

The Department was established with Rector’s Decree no. 00293 of 03/08/2004 on the proposal of Professors of the Institute of Dental Clinic, at the same time deactivated, and is initially referred to the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery I and, subsequently in 2010, with the reorganization of the Faculties, to the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry.
The new structure includes spaces reserved for high-level university training and research: in particular, the classrooms, the library, the reading room and the laboratories have been created. The complex also houses premises intended for support activities such as studios and meeting rooms.

The EADPH Gala Dinner will be held at the Palazzo Rospigliosi, in the heart of downtown Rome, across from the Quirinale (official residence of the President of the Italian Republic).
It was built in 1611 by Scipione Borghese, from a project drawn up by Vasanzio and Maderno.
The interior was decorated by Guido Reni, Paul Bril, Orazio Gentileschi and other celebrated 17th century artists.
Over the years, the building changed hands many times. After the Borghese family came Cardinal Guido Bentivoglio, Cardinal Mazarino and then, in 1704, the Rospigliosi-Pallavicini family.
During the 18th century ownership of Palazzo Rospigliosi Pallavicini was divided between the two branches of the family and only the portion assigned to the Rospigliosi family came down to the current owners.
The building still houses two splendid private art galleries with works by Botticelli, Signorelli, Carracci and Guercino.
It is still divided into several elements overlooking the central garden located in front of the main entrance, topped by an arcade and belvedere;
while on the rear, the buildings added in the early 19th century create a pleasant atmosphere, with a series of small courtyards joined by pretty pathways.
An ancient lily pond in the “secret garden” of the main building, decorated with period sculpture, closes the view from the elevated arcade.
