Holy Italy, Rome to the Shrines of the Adriatic
A pilgrimage from the Vatican and Saint Peter's to the great shrines of Loreto, Padua and San Giovanni Rotondo.

Italy is a country of extraordinary depth, where ancient Rome, Renaissance Florence and the canals of Venice sit within a single unforgettable journey. It is the heart of the Catholic world, home to the Vatican, Saint Peter's Basilica and the great Jubilee, alongside beloved shrines such as Padua, Loreto and San Giovanni Rotondo. Beyond the art and faith lie the rolling vineyards of Tuscany and Piedmont and the sun-drenched cliffs of the Amalfi Coast. For travelers seeking history, spirituality, gastronomy and romance together, few places rival Italy for sheer richness and warmth.
The landmarks that shape a journey through Italy, explore them on the map.
Italy is a year-round destination, but the most comfortable window for touring runs from April to October. Spring brings mild days and blossom to Rome, Florence and Venice, while early autumn offers warm weather, the grape harvest in Tuscany and Piedmont, and thinner crowds. High summer is hot in the cities but perfect for the Amalfi Coast and the lakes. The Vatican and Italy's shrines welcome pilgrims all year, with major feast days and the Jubilee drawing the largest gatherings.
