Monday: We will depart for Rome on the 16th from Cleveland (or your particular port of departure). 

Tuesday: We will fly overnight and arrive in Rome the next morning at the Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (Fiumicino).  Our private coach will pick us up at the airport and take us to the Villa Clara, located in a beautiful park in Casali Valley in the Aurelia District, near the Vatican. After some time to rest, we will take an orientation tour by bus around the city of Rome.

We will stop at the Roman Forum in the center of Rome and tour the ruins at the heart of ancient Rome.

We will meet the bus in Piazza Venezia and walk by the Imperial Forums of Julius Caesar, Nerva, Vespasian, Augustus and Trajan (with Trajan’s Column).  If we have time, we will visit these forums.  Otherwise, there will be an optional trip to these places later in the trip.
