For several days now, the eyes of the entire world have been turned to the Vatican. The recent death of Pope Francis and the approaching conclave have attracted representatives of the Church, pilgrims and tourists from all over the world to Italy. Perhaps you are also planning a trip to Italy at this special time? Remember to visit Loreto, which is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Catholics, but also a pearl of art and craftsmanship of European Renaissance architecture, which is an absolute must-see.

Traditionally, Christmas is a time when churches and many homes host nativity scenes depicting the Holy Family just after the birth of Baby Jesus. We especially invite you to Loreto, Italy, to see beautiful detailed scenes depicting the Nativity of the Lord.

Representatives of the tourism industry will be staying in Rimini from October 11 to 13, taking part in the TTG Travel Experience 2023 fair - the most important event of this type in Italy. Of course, our association - Shrines of Europe - could not be missing among the exhibitors.

Did you know that according to legend, in the 13th century, the holy house of Mary was moved from Palestine to Italy on angel wings? If this were true, this flight would be the first transport flight in the history of the world! And over what distance - the road from Palestine to Italy is over 2,200 km. But of course, when you are an angel, anything is possible.
