Faith & Heritage Tours

Through the centuries, the roads of Italy have seen the pilgrimage of millions of people of Christian and Jewish faiths. SIT Italy organizes special itineraries for groups to include the sights of St. Anthony (Padua, Veneto), the Holy Family (Loreto, Marche), St. Francis (Assisi, Umbria & Latium), St. Padre Pio (St. Giovanni Rotondo, Apulia), St. Peter, St. Paul outside of the wall, St. John Lateran and St. Mary Major (Rome). We can also obtain reservations and invitations to attend Public Papal Audience in Rome and in Castel Galdolfo (the Pope’s summer residence).
Italy has been the home to Jewish settlements for over 2000 years, and the first Synagogue was built in Ostia, the harbor-town of ancient Rome, around 2ooB.C. Our Jewish heritage itineraries include the ornate synagogues, Jewish museums, cemeteries, and ghettos of places like Alessandria, Ancona, Bologna, Casale Monferrato, Ferrara, Florence, Genoa, Livorno, Mantua, Merano, Modena, Naples, Padua, Parma, Pisa, Pitigliano, Rome, Turin, Trieste, Venice, Vercelli and Verona.
SIT Italy planners will customize your itineraries with quality accommodations and services to suit the size and budget of your group.
