The Chapel at Termini Station in Rome was closed after a man was reported to have urinated on the altar. The closure is deprived the community of access.

As reported on EtruriaNews, the chapel at Termini Station was closed at the beginning of December 2025 after reports emerged of serious sacrilegious conduct. According to a social-media testimony, a man described as intoxicated was seen urinating on the altar of the Cappella della Stazione Termini, prompting authorities to suspend access to the site. The closure deprived commuters, workers and vulnerable individuals of a modest spiritual refuge. No public information has confirmed any arrest of the alleged perpetrator.
