Contained within this area is the independent Vatican City State. Its history can be glimpsed in the crumbling columns of the ancient Empire where the Colosseum is currently under reconstruction and the Roman Forum, though primarily ruins, provides a view into thousands of years of history. The medieval alleys lined with Renaissance palaces such as Campo de’ Fiori, and charming Baroque fountains splashing on elegant piazzas casts a very different light on Rome’s evolution. Rome also has scores of museums, from the vast Vatican to compact collections like the Galleria Borghese (located near our hotel). There are hundreds of churches filled with great art, from tiny chapels to the great basilicas and St. Peter’s itself. Above all, Rome is the world’s greatest historical city, filled with incredible history and art. As we all know, Rome was not built in a day, and our brief time here is a reminder that we can but glimpse and savor some of the highlights of this great city before returning home. TUESDAY, APRIL 29 WELCOME RECEPTION Once again, for your ease and convenience after a long travel schedule to Rome, this year’s Welcome Reception will be held at our conference hotel, the Parco dei Principi. If the weather cooperates, our goal is to enjoy some fresh air on their beautiful terrace while we network with friends old and new! WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30 TOUR OF THE VATICAN Emperor Constantine built the first basilica on the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried in AD324. Since then, the Vatican became the residence of all the popes who succeeded him. Sumptuously decorated with marble, mosaics and gold, it was pillaged during the barbarian invasions, but remained the central church of Christendom for over 1,000 years. The Vatican has been a sovereign state since February 1929, and the Great Basilica of St. Peter’s continues to draw pilgrims and guests from all over the world. Although much of the Vatican is out of bounds to visitors, two of Rome’s greatest sights lie within its confines: the basilica itself and the Musei Vaticani (Vatican Museums), housed in the papal palaces. With the added attractions of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collections of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. THURSDAY, MAY 1 GUIDED BAROQUE CITY TOUR A motor coach will bring us from our hotel to a convenient location where we will begin our journey into Rome’s most beautiful piazzas and fountains and will help us to discover why the Eternal City is home to the Dolce Vita. This guided tour will lead us to the immortal Trevi Fountain, a Baroque Jewel, where we will have the chance to throw a coin into the fountain and ensure our return trip to Rome! A short walk through the cobbled streets brings us to the Pantheon, a colossal monument, dating back 2,000 years and is still used as a working church to this day. Discover the secrets of the mystery behind the gaping hole in the ceiling and visit the tombs of Raphael and the kings of Italy. Next, the walk will head to Palazzo Madama, seat of the Senate of the Republic and then onward to Piazza Navona, where Bernini’s treasured “Fountain of the Rivers” proudly rises from the center of the piazza. This square is said to be the most beautiful in Italy. THURSDAY, MAY 1 (Cont.) CASUAL GROUP DINNER at I QUATTRO FIUMI At the conclusion of our Baroque Tour, there will be some free time at Piazza Navona to stroll through the square and its shops, take pictures or to simply stop for a coffee or glass of wine and relax and enjoy the ambiance of such a special place. Afterward, we will gather at I Quattro Fiumi for dinner.
