This month’s highlights
Paul Pacter Presents Italy: Day Trips from Rome
Monday May 4 at 3:00 PM
This presentation includes three day-trips by train from Rome: Orvieto (perched on a cliff with one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Italy); Ostia Antica (once the bustling port town of Rome, now Rome’s Pompeii); and Villa d’Este in Tivoli (16th century, famous for terraced gardens and fountains). We will also make long outings within Rome to Trastevere and Villa Borghese. We will examine 19th century Italian unification (Risorgimento). And conclude with everybody’s #1 reason for visiting Rome: the food!
