The Catholic Pilgrims guide to discovering Italy. This guide is for a 16 day trip in Italy (but you can adjust it to your schedule). It will guide you through trains stops, locations, relics, mass times, and take you to Rome, Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento, Amalfi Coast, Capri, Assisi, Florence, Turin, Milan, a quick stop in the Swiss Alps, Padua, & finally Venice!

Torino isn’t just a city to me—it’s where my story begins. It’s the quiet mornings spent at Al Bicerin, a spoonful of warm zabaione in hand, and the slow walks under the arcades of Via Po, where time feels suspended. Torino reveals its soul slowly—one café, one corner, one story at a time. In this guide, I’ve gathered the places I return to again and again. The spots I’d take you if you were here with me: hidden wine bars, family-run shops, and cafés where the past lingers and the present feels just right. This isn’t about ticking off landmarks; it’s about feeling the pulse of a city that knows how to savor life—one moment, one bite, one glass at a time.

Turin is so underrated. With a fairytale backdrop of the Alps, the city along the Po River feels refined but in a relaxed way. Charm and quality still feel friendly and warm. Historic Torino (as we say in Italian) is renowned for its rich heritage, a history spanning over two millennia, iconic landmarks, and its role as the host of the 2006 Winter Olympics.
