Our Rome In A Day tour was on May 12; Fabrizio was incredible. Even if you were idly waiting in line for something, he would use this as an opportunity to discuss everything from the Colosseum to the ancient structure of the Roman Senate. He did a great job at keeping our tour group together, and his knowledge of art history not only expanded our understanding of the Catholic faith, but it also opened our hearts to the human experience. We adopted a motto throughout the rest of our trip to Rome: “what would Fabrizio say?” Grazie mille, Fabrizio!
