We were able to drive up with a family member but so much mountains greenery speechless beautiful. Then turn around and the Sanctuary a beautiful building built in the mountain Not being able to envision how they built this beautiful building so many years ago! When you enter it’s just very peaceful and feel spiritual; it gave me chills. I felt more spirituality here than feeling anything at the Vatican. At the end of San Benedetto there’s a quaint gift shop.

The church is not as well known as teh cathedral and the sanctuary of Santa Rosa but contains one o the most beautiful and ingeniously painted flat ceilings that looks like a vault besides possessing and incredible painting with tow paintings one on either side of the same canvas which, besides the extensive use of lapis lazuli is still apparently a mystery of how it was managed . But the false perspectives of the ceiling are simply incredible . The church is managed by the Confraternity of St John the Baptist who are restoring it and who only ask for a donation for a explanation and guide around the church's treasures. Certainly a must for any art lover

This is an exceptional complex of classical buildings built in the 2nd century AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, which reproduces the best elements of the cultures of Egypt, Greece and Rome in the form of an "ideal city."

What a site(sight)! For 1 Euro 30 we purchased a bus ticket to the stop in Tivoli for Hadrian’s Villa. We caught the bus from the ponte de Mammalo stop on the B metro line. The driver of the bus stopped at a stop which was signposted for the Villa Adriana. Following the signs we arrived at the villa’s ticket office after a 20 minute walk.The walk was well worth the effort. Paying 10 euros each and another 5 euros for a mobile commentary we entered the grounds of the emperor’s Villa. Take your time looking at the model of the Villa because it gives you a great impression of the sheer size of the place. There are about 27 information boards dotted around the grounds giving you information about the building or scene you are looking at. Be prepared to do do a lot of walking if you want to explore. Hadrian’s visionary Villa. Having refreshments to hand would be a good idea and there are plenty of seating areas to enjoy your picnic. We returned to Rome using the same route, after purchasing our ticket from a tobacconist near the bus stop. We were surprised to find we had spent a good 3 hours enjoyed visiting this iconic historical site.

The frescoes and building are beautiful and it sits in the piazza . Absolutely stunning and to think it started building in the 2nd century

I have just completed a virtual, interactive tour of Ancient Rome with Franco. It was excellent! I was able to add significantly to the experience my husband and I had when visiting in February, before the lockdown, by getting a better idea of where things were and how things operated in Ancient Rome. It also gave me better insights into the structure of the Colosseum and where significant events happened, like the assassination of Julius Caesar. Franco was very good, making good use of pictures and diagrams with arrows pointing things out and he responded to my questions very quickly. This was my first interactive, virtual tour and I enjoyed it. Being able to ask questions via the chat box at the side was useful. The various polls asked along the way was a bit of a surprise, and challenge, but I managed to answer all the questions correctly. They were not too hard thank goodness :) I appreciate the effort Franco put in to make the tour interesting and informative.

There are so many wonderful regional towns to visit in Italy, I had never heard of Viterbo until our recent stay in this very interesting town in Lazio. The historical centre which dates back to the eighth century was wonderful to explore, the architecture is quite different mostly built out of grey stone, one and two storey buildings with outdoor staircases, a particular feature typical of this town. We found many delightful piazzas and fountains as well as great cafes, gelaterias and restaurants in Viterbo during our stay. Viterbo was a great town to discover and so close to Rome.
