“From the Vatican to Da Vinci: An Italian Journey Through Art and Faith”

Join me as I recount a whirlwind day starting at dawn in Rome, exploring the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City—often considered the heart of the Catholic faith—before heading to Milan to witness Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic masterpiece, The Last Supper. Along the way, we’ll delve into the intriguing histories behind these world-renowned sites, from centuries of painstaking restoration to the stories that shaped their creation. We’ll also visit the majestic Duomo of Milan, a cathedral that took nearly six centuries to complete, contrasting its sharp Gothic power with the warm hospitality of the Vatican.
