DOGS ARE WELCOME ON MY PILGRIMAGES!

Image
 YES, many of you have asked about allowing your dogs to join my Pilgrimages and the answer is YES YOU CAN, dogs are WELCOME.   To facilitate a harmonious Pilgrimage I recently spent an entire week with the DOG DADDY in Phoenix AZ where I attended his 5-day TRAIN THE TRAINERS Course.   I can help your dog with LEASH WALKING, CORRECTING for STOPPING AND SNIFFING, PULLING, JUMPING, LUNGING AND BARKING.  I can help your dog learn basic OBEDIENCE COMMANDS, SIT, DOWN, STAY, LEAVE IT AND COME.  Basically I practice BALANCED TRAINING, a COMBINATION OF CORRECTION AND POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT.  I rely mainly on LEASH PRESSURE and VARIOUS REDIRECTION PACES.   I would need to meet your dog BEFORE the Pilgrimage begins.  My guests arrive in Rome the day before so there will be time for me to address behavioral issues before we all get together. If your dog is HUMAN AND/OR DOG FEAR REACTIVE/AGGRESSIVE, I can help with REDIRECTION AND DESENSITIZING.  HO...

ROME OF THE TRANSPORT!

Image
MY PILGRIMAGES ARE NOT  WALKING PILGRIMAGES.  I USE RELIABLE COURTEOUS PRIVATE TRANSPORT.  OR ROME CITY CABS WHERE NECESSARY.  I DON’T SPEND YOUR MONEY ON WALKING AND WAITING FOR CITY BUSES, MOST OF WHICH ARE LATE AND TOO CROWDED ANYWAY. MY PILGRIMAGES ARE INTENSE, COMPREHENSIVE AND THOROUGH, AND REQUIRE THE BEST USE OF TIME TO GIVE YOU THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE.  PRIVATE TRANSPORT IS BEST BECAUSE IT’S NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO GET A TAXI IN ROME EVEN USING THE APPS.  WE COVER A LOT OF GROUND, EVERY EFFORT IS MADE TO CLUSTER OUR ACTIVITIES SO AS NOT TO REPEAT AND DOUBLE BACK OVER ROUTES. My Transport Sources: NCC Vega, Cristiana Musumeci, +39 366 307 6401 text her on WhatsApp, www.nccvega.com, Rome transport service; Ivano, +39 338 240 6629,  and Marcello Bartoletta, +39 328 302 0069 text him on WhatsApp,  Enrico also on WhatsApp at +39 347 751 6536,  and Alessandro Mocci is on WhatsApp at +39 392 921 7140, all are from Expats Living in Rome;...

A PILGRIMAGE TO LIFE-SIZE SKELETON ART OF ANCIENT AND BAROQUE ROME

Image
THE MEMENTO MORI ERA, LATIN FOR REMEMBER YOU DIE !  THE 17th CENTURY WAS A RELIGIOUS ERA DEFINING THIS LIFE AS TRANSITORY AND ONLY A PREPARATION FOR ETERNAL LIFE. COST IS A FLAT 500 EURO, UNLESS THE GROUP IS SO LARGE OUR DRIVER HAS TO UPGRADE.  THERE ARE 10 CHURCHES WE HAVE TO VIEW SO IT’s AN INTENSE BUSY PILGRIMAGE.  WE WILL VISIT AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. WE WILL BEGIN WITH MY VERY FAVE LIFE-SIZE SKELETON ART OF ALL TIME, at SAN PIETRO IN VINCOLI.  THIS CHURCH REACHED BY AN OUTSIDE UP STAIRWAY OFF VIA CAVOUR OR NEARBY COLLE OPPIO HILL AND THE COLOSSEO. JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO GET SOME RELIEF FROM A FULL BLOWN SKELETON, WHAMMY, THERE’s BIG BONY LEGS AND FEET STICKING OUT FROM BEHIND THE MARBLE COFFIN AND YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ENTIRE WHOLE LIFE-SIZE SKELETON EVEN THOUGH YOU CANNOT PROVE WHAT’s BEHIND THE TOMB!  1707 SCULPTURE BY PIERRE LE GROS THE YOUNGER FOR CINZIO ALDOBRANDINI.  FULL BLOWN WINGS AND THE UBIQUITOUS HOUR...
