Drawn together from separate parishes the Oratorio dei Chiostri di San Simpliciano stands as a testament to unity. Since 2006, the parishes of San Simpliciano, San Marco, Santa Maria Incoronata, and San Bartolomeo have united. Each parish once had its own independent oratory. Now they form a single, stronger community. The Oratorio dei Chiostri derives its name from a unique feature. Each of the four original parishes has its own medieval cloister. Furthermore the Oratorio’s location is at the end of Via dei Chiostri.
The Oratorio dei Chiostri di San Simpliciano continues a mission. It embodies the educational passion of its founding parishes. It offers a welcoming space for children to play safely. The beautiful church nearby offers a sense of peace.
