Parent Meeting for the Pilgrimage to Italy Monday Night


Tomorrow evening, Monday March 29th at 7:00 PM we will conduct a meeting for parents in preparation for next school year's pilgrimage to Italy. We will meet in the Song School of Erbin Hall. The meeting will provide detailed information to date regarding itinerary, performances and costs and will include tips for planning your child's travel.

The coming pilgrimage and performance tour will depart on Friday November 5th and return to Salt Lake City on Monday November 15th. The pilgrimage/tour will begin in Milan, and will include stays in Florence, Assisi, and Rome.

Where in Rome is the great Archangel Michael found? (Hint: it was originally a tomb, was the refuge place for Pope Gregory VII and it is featured in the tragic end of Puccini's Tosca)

Here is an elephant at the base of one of Egypt's many obelisks brought to Rome. The elephant is the work of Bernini - what are other major architectural and artistic works of Bernini in Rome? Where are more ancient obelisks found?

So much to see and learn in Rome!
