Lavinia Spirito and Mary Lou Nemecek continue previewing their November 2026 Catholic pilgrimage to Florence and Rome, expanding beyond the first days in Florence (Duomo, Baptistry, Santa Maria Novella, Santa Croce, leather school) to include a day trip to Lucca to visit the shrines of Saints Elena Guerra and Gemma Galgani, with discussion of Guerra’s influence on Leo XIII’s 1900 consecration to the Holy Spirit and her 2024 canonization. They also plan a foodie-focused visit to Arezzo, an American WWII Cemetery visit, Mass, and a Chianti wine tasting before traveling to Rome for a papal audience, St. Peter’s Basilica, and a private nighttime Sistine Chapel tour. Additional Rome stops include Tivoli’s Villa d’Este, the Scavi tour, Santa Maria Maggiore, Santa Maria in Trastevere, a Frascati cooking class, and Santa Maria del Popolo, concluding with practical notes on off-season travel and pilgrimage mindset.
