Additional Information

San Giovanni Rotondo is renowned worldwide as the birthplace of St. Pio (Padre Pio) of Pietrelcina, and as the place where the revered monk performed his miracles. Pio was beatified in 2002. At the Capuchin Monastery, Padre Pio received the stigmata in 1918, and it was here that the supernatural events leading to his sainthood and canonization occurred. Visiting this Monastery and seeing the rooms where St. Pio lived his life immerses one in an atmosphere of spirituality and mysticism; it is a must-visit destination for both devotees and tourists.

touring the Vatican at night - This was a wonderful tour, well worth the money. Our guide, Deborah, both knowledgeable and passionate. Our small group was picked up on time and met at the entrance of the museum. The four-hour tour in the evening was exhausting, but exhilarating. Skipping lines is also a pleasure. I would highly recommend the RomeItalyExplora tour of the Vatican, particularly at night when there are fewer people.
