The motivation was to provide accommodation for civil servants, members of the armed forces and other government employees in the new capital of Italy, but it is clear that the government did not really know what to do with this property. The friars were allowed to rent the church and a few ancillary rooms, but the rest of the friary was used as dormitory accommodation for immigrant workers on the major engineering projects in the city such as the Tiber embankments. This cannot have been very welcome to them, because the friary was known for having some of the poorest accommodation of any of Rome's convents (as appropriate to an order vowed to corporate poverty). </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">In 1897, <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22external%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Pope%20Leo%20XIII%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fen.wikipedia.org%5C%2Fwiki%5C%2FPope_Leo_XIII%22%2C%22linktype%22%3A%22text%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5Bhttp%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fen.wikipedia.org%5C%2Fwiki%5C%2FPope_Leo_XIII%20Pope%20Leo%20XIII%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="1750-210993705def59c69cf6c" class="text" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Leo_XIII">Pope Leo XIII</a> decided to enforce a union between four Franciscan orders, mainly because the lapse of time had blurred any distinctions between them. These were the Observants, Alcantarines, Reformed and Recollects and the resultant new consolidated order was simply named as the "Order of Friars Minor". (The Franciscan Conventuals and Capuchins were not involved.) As a result the friary here passed to the Friars Minor, in whose charge it remains. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The friary was fortunate to survive an early 20th century campaign by nationalist "archaeologists" to demolish it. They did succeed in destroying St Leonard's Stations of the Cross in the Colosseum, but one of the agreements in the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22external%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Lateran%20Treaty%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22https%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fen.wikipedia.org%5C%2Fwiki%5C%2FLateran_Treaty%22%2C%22linktype%22%3A%22text%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5Bhttps%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fen.wikipedia.org%5C%2Fwiki%5C%2FLateran_Treaty%20Lateran%20Treaty%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="1750-210993705def59c69cf6c" class="text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateran_Treaty">Lateran Treaty</a> in <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%221929%22%2C%22link%22%3A%221929%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5B1929%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="1750-210993705def59c69cf6c" href="/wiki/1929" title="1929">1929</a> was that the Holy Father could make the Stations there on Good Friday.
