Blessed Alvaro, Don Jose Orlandis and don Salvador Canals were the first three members of the Work who went to Rome. On May 27th, 1946, the landlord at the house at Corso del Rinascimento asked them to leave immediately. They moved to Città Leonina on this date. The change was certainly for the good.
Many months later, when St. Josemaria arrived in Rome, as he would say - "videre Petrum" (to see [St.] Peter), he stayed with his sons at Città Leonina. from the window, (second from the top in the photo below) he could see the window of the Pope's room (see above the location in relation to St. Peter's) and that night, he stayed up in prayer for the Holy father looking at the lit room through his small window.
