Language of the film version shown in the current academic year:
Filippo Neri, known as Apostle of Rome, was born in Florence in 1515 and lived more than 60 years in Rome. It was the time of the Council of Trent, and the Catholic Counter-Reformation. Filippo taught the youngest with tenderness and irony, and made them have fun, sing and play in a place that became the Oratory some years later. This was a congregation proclaimed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1575. Throughout his life, Filippo Neri was a friend of Ignatius of Loyola and Cardinal Charles Borromeo. When asked whether he would be made a cardinal, he promptly replied: "I prefer Paradise."
