Via di Monserrato, one of the most elegant and interesting streets of Rome, connects Piazza Farnese to Piazza della Moretta and owes its name to the church of S. Maria in Monserrato that stands here. The road has something austere; it was in the past known as “Corte Savella”, the prison guarded by the Savelli family; to maintain it, they could count on rich income: Court fees, sums paid by solvent inmates, and other arbitrary taxes like those on harlots. The most famous prisoner was Beatrice Cenci and her stepmother Lucrezia brought to the gallows on 11.09.1599. Once the Prisons were moved, the building was bought by the English College, where it still has its seat. From the 1500s the road turned into an elegant and quiet street; houses for cardinals, noble families and beautiful courtesans began to be built. The stately appearance preserved it even in the following centuries, It was chosen as the place of residence of the family of Cardinal Antonelli, Secretary of State of Pius IX. Another pearl of the street is the church of San Girolamo della Carità, linked to the memory of San Filippo Neri, who lived there for many years.
