From the tour
itinerary notes...
After breakfast drive along the Appian Way. The Appian Way was the first
military road built by the Romans to connect Rome with the southern part of
Italy. During the days of the Empire, the first ten miles of the Appian Way
were lined with the monumental graves of patrician Roman families and formed
the approach to the capital of the Empire.
Continue your sightseeing visiting the Catacombs, usually five or six levels,
the total estimated length of the galleries is about 500 miles, and about six
million people were buried in a span of 300 years.
In the evening the choir participates in the mass and then presents a concert
of sacred music in the beautiful Church of Saint Maria del Popolo. Mass is at
6:30-7:10 p.m. (1 piece sung at the beginning.) We perform 45 minute program
after the mass ending at 8:00 p.m.
Dinner at 9 p.m.
