Rome, Italy. Originally founded for Spanish Franciscans during the pontificate of Pope Gregory XV. Father Luke Wadding converted it into a college for the education of Irish Franciscan students in 1625. It was suppressed in 1798, but later restored and reopened with a fresh band of students from Ireland in 1819. Since then it has been in the possession of the Irish Franciscans.
