''Pontificio Collegio Filippino'' (English: ''Pontifical Filipino College''; Filipino: ''Dalubhasaang Pilipinong Pontipikal''), officially ''Pontificio Collegio Seminario de Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje'' (English: ''Pontifical College Seminary of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage''), is the college of Filipino diocesan priests studying at pontifical universities in Rome, Italy. It was formally established as an institution with pontifical rights by Pope John XXIII on June 29, 1961 through the Papal Bull ''Sancta Mater Ecclesia''. The current rector of Pontificio Collegio Filippino is the Rev. Fr. Gregory Ramon D. Gaston, S.T.D.〔(Vatican picks new Filipino college rector ), www.ucanews.com〕 ==Building and some of its Unique Features== The seat of the institution is located at 490 Via Aurelia in the suburb of Rome where a four-story structure designed by Edoardo Cherubini and done in the contemporary architectural design of the 1960s stands on a property between the Collegio Pio-Brasiliano and the Villa Pacelli. On the occasion of the canonization of St. Pedro Calungsod, the second Filipino saint, a commemorative Retablo was made by the Filipino sculptor Wilfredo Layug from Betis in Guagua, Pampanga,〔http://calungsod.cdn.ph/rome-tableau-shows-images-of-filipino-saints.html〕 for the Chapel at the crypt of the College. Both "relleba" (relief murals) of the Retablo depict St. Lorenzo Ruiz and St. Pedro Calungsod, while being tortured by pagans, to force them to renounce their faith. St. Lorenzo Ruiz was executed in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1637; while St. Pedro Calungsod was killed together with Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores in 1672 in Tumhon, Guam.〔 In the mural of St. Pedro Calungsod, Layug carved the image of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage, the Patroness of the Pontificio Collegio Filippino. The angels are Filipina women garbed in ''baro'' and ''saya'' (native Filipino blouse and skirt), done in ''estofado'', a detailed carving style that gives the image the look of real clothes.〔 Bamboo is a constant motif in the Retablo.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pontificio Collegio Filippino」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
