leggo.it (Italian)

The chapel at Rome Termini station has temporarily closed due to disrespectful acts, including urination in the holy water font. This decision was made to address ongoing degradation and blasphemous behavior. The chapel's chaplain stated that while previous incidents of waste were tolerated, the desecration of the holy water font was unacceptable due to its hygiene and religious significance. The chapel has experienced a decline in respect for the sacred space for about four years, with community involvement helping to improve the situation, though further efforts are needed.
