Sant'Angelo in Pescheria or in Piscaria is a church in Rome. It dates from the 8th century. "In Pescheria" refers to its location close to the fish market built in the ruins of the ancient Porticus Octaviae. The relics of St. Symphorosa and her seven sons were transferred to the Church of Sant'Angelo in Pescheria at Rome by Pope Stephen II in 752. A sarcophagus was found here in 1610, bearing the inscription: Hic requiescunt corpora SS. Martyrum Simforosae, viri sui Zotici et Filiorum ejus a Stephano Papa translata; this inscription refers to Saint Getulius and Saint Symphorosa, purported to be husband and wife, who had seven sons, who were martyred. The remains of these saints were transferred to Sant'Angelo by Pope Stephen II in 752; the revolutionary "tribune" Cola di Rienzo was born near Sant'Angelo. He launched his effort to seize control of Rome from the vicinity of the church in 1347; the Roman Ghetto was established nearby in the rione Sant'Angelo in 1555 by order of Pope Paul IV. The Ghetto was abolished in 1870 after the reunification of Italy or Risorgimento, the Ghetto wall was demolished in 1888.

The rione Sant'Angelo, numbered as XI, is named for the church. The inscriptions found in S. Angelo, a valuable source illustrating the history of the Basilica, have been collected and published by Vincenzo Forcella. In the second chapel to the left inside the church are frescoes of the Madonna with Child and Angels attributed to Benozzo Gozzoli; the Church is in the possession of the Order of Clerics Regular Minor, which utilizes the attached convent as their Generalate House.

Rogers Middle School for the Creative and Performing Arts was an arts magnet school located in Garfield, near East Liberty, Highland Park neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Rogers CAPA offers students nine Arts majors: Creative Writing, Drama, Multimedia, Stagecraft, Visual Arts, Vocal. Admission is by audition. Academic courses include Communications, Health, Mathematics, Physical Education, Social Studies, Spanish. Rogers CAPA is one of ten middle schools in the Pittsburgh Public Schools. In 2005 it was ranked 111th of 500 middle schools in the state of Pennsylvania. In June 2009, this building was closed and the program was merged into the Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts School; as part of the court-mandated desegregation plan, the Gladstone School for the Creative and Performing Arts opened in September 1979 for grades 4–8. One of the plan's objectives was to create a unique program that would attract a population that would be drawn from all neighborhoods in the city. A process of application and audition was instituted, which has served as a successful method of admission to the school.

In September 1980, the program was moved to its present location in the Rogers building and changed to its current format of grades 6–8. A major addition to the program was the hiring of an adjunct teaching staff of artists and performers with a high level of expertise. In its lifetime the school has served over 8000 students by developing their artistic and academic talents. One of the hallmarks of Rogers School has been the institution of school-wide interdisciplinary units that unite academic and arts subjects, thus enriching and extending student learning. Throughout the years, units have included Shakespeare, the Civil War, Broadway musicals, the Shapers of History. All arts staff involve their students in the production of stage presentation, the academic staff creates specific lesson plans that relate to the theme and support the creation of the stage production. In 1992, the entire staff and student body collaborated with the Pittsburgh Opera in the student-centered production of the opera The Pied Piper of Hamelin.

Shadowing the professionals, students wrote copy for the print and electronic media, designed the program cover, conducted the orchestra though some rehearsals, interviewed the principal actors and wrote biographies, choreographed dance sequences, designed and created costumes worn during the production. Community partners and supporters included the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, the Dance Alloy, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Pittsburgh Citiparks, the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Opera; the building housing the current Middle School CAPA program was named for James E. Rogers, a member of the Hiland Sub-District School Board for twenty years, it was built in 1915 and had 742 students enrolled that year, by 1953 the enrollment had increased to 900 students. In 1980 the school was closed, reopened in 1982 for the current CAPA program. In 2002 the building was designated a Historic Landmark by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation.
