Adventures in Rome and the Amalfi Coast
2025 was the Catholic Jubilee Year of Hope. The Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome was unsealed and opened for millions of visitors to celebrate the momentous occasion. A new pope had just been elected, an American: Leo XIV. The Vatican hosted its first ever concert. Italy crackled with the electric energy of a new age of promise and peace.
2025 was the Catholic Jubilee Year of Hope. The Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome was unsealed and opened for millions of visitors to celebrate the momentous occasion. A new pope had just been elected, an American: Leo XIV. The Vatican hosted its first ever concert. Italy crackled with the electric energy of a new age of promise and peace.
This is the story of my adventure to Italy during the Jubilee Year. I explored Rome, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast. It is a journey back in time, to visit Roman Emperors, buried cities, steaming volcanoes, holy relics, Renaissance Popes, tortured artists, and a whole gallery of cruel despots and wise rulers. Discover sublime sculptures, glorious gardens, grand galleries, crypts full of skeletons and dark catacombs that go on for miles, and the ruins of towering, once-lavish palaces, arenas, and baths. Climb to a cliffside town, then fall asleep on a black-sand beach while crystal waters crash nearby.

So get ready for a journey that will tempt you to Italy. Awaiting you are espresso, corentti, gelato, pasta, vino, crazy moto drivers, pizza too-hot to hold, grace, elegance, history around every corner, style, a Papal Audience with the new Pope, a pinch of political revolution, and a healthy dose of the sweet joy of doing nothing: dolce far niente. I promise it will spark your own journey to Il Bel Paese, the beautiful country.
