Rome | The Spiritual Tour

Enjoy a 3-day tour to San Giovanni Rotondo, a small historic village surrounded by the beautiful natural scenery of the Gargano National Park and home to the shrine & sanctuary of Padre Pio!  

Day 1: Rome | Foggia | San Giovanni Rotondo

Board a train from Rome Termini to Foggia, where you will meet your private car and driver who will take you to your hotel in San Giovanni Rotondo, home of the Shrine of Padre Pio. Settle into your hotel to rest up for the day ahead.

Day 2: San Giovanni Rotondo

After breakfast at your hotel, spend the day exploring this fascinating city on your own. From July 28, 1916 until his death on September 23, 1968, Padre Pio, famous for his stigmata, called San Giovanni Rotondo his home. The miracle of his stigmata was recognized by the Pope after the canonically required approval of three commissions. The Medical Consultations of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints examined the case, and with a unanimous vote, judged it “scientifically inexplicable.” On June 16, 2002 John Paul II declared Padre Pio a Saint of the Catholic Church. Millions of people exulted with joy and participated in the ceremony at Saint Peter’s Square. Padre Pio's body was exhumed in March of 2009 and displayed at Santa Maria delle Grazie shrine, where it stayed until September 2009. After this intense day, return to your hotel for some well-earned rest. (B)
