Abstract

Poland and Italy are connected through a religious and cultural commonwealth, which has been enhanced through the ages by pilgrims, which have brougt income to Rome. Due to this there appeared an urgent need to create a center for Polonia in Rome. Therefore the house at Via Casia in the Roman district of Giustiniana was bought in 1980. This house was commemorated to Pope John Paul II in 1981. Results from the research of the Polish Home in Rome constitutes a certain sense of an oasis of Polishness, a patch of Polish ground outside of Poland and a place of cultural, religious and scientific dialogue, where Polish heritage is popularized and enriched by humanistic and Christian values.
