There’s always a reason to go to Rome

Rome, the eternal city, caput mundi of antiquity, seat of the Vatican and of the Papacy, final stop on the Via Francigena, the route that Saint Augustine travelled to venerate the relics of Saint Peter and Paul.

A pilgrimage is one of the reasons for going to Rome on a journey that includes numerous stops along the route of Christianity: so, comfortable shoes, rucksack and off you go exploring!

Where is a good place to start?

Definitely St. Peter’s Basilica and the papal tombs, including the most impressive buildings in the world embellished by the works of Michelangelo, Bernini, Raffaello, Bramante.

An itinerary that winds its way through the Vatican Museums where the popes have collected the best works of international artists in Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel with the beautiful rooms of Raffaello that astound visitors from all over the world.

The discovery continues with the important basilicas of the city such as Santa Maria Maggiore, San Giovanni in Laterano founded by Constantine I which was the residence of the Pope until the XV and Saint Paul Fuori le Mura, recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
And finally? The participation in the Angelus or in the general audiences of Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square.

In short, this journey between art and faith is a reason to go to Rome which will remain in your heart, but as you can imagine it’s not the only reason…
