Welcome to Passage to Roma
This is the companion site to our Passage to Roma - 2010 Video Tours of Rome DVD series.
When we decided to begin creating the entire "Passage To" series, we wanted to go far beyond normal travel videos. We did not want to focus on bars, restaurants and hotels. Instead, we wanted to get into the reasons people visit places...to see things, to learn about them and to make their trips as enjoyable as possible. We hope to answer the questions that people constantly ask. We want to show the sites that are ignored or missed by the casual tourist. We wanted to show how to save both time and money. We believe we are accomplishing all of that.

Passage to Roma - 2010 will be a completely new version of and update to our very sucessful Passage to Roma DVD.
We are now in the final editing stages of Passage to Roma 2010. We have changed the tours, added in dozens of sites, even more information and the series now consists of six half-day tours. This new series has been shot almost entirely in High Definition, but even on standard televisions the video quality is amazing. We expect release of this new version is taking longer than we had hoped, but we are striving to achieve the highest quality possible.
Purchasers of the original Passage to Roma will be able to obtain the new version for only a small production and shipping charge or will be able to download it for free. Visit our site often for more information. |

We have just finished shooting for our new video series "The Art, Architecture and History of the Churches of Rome". Based on the monumental book by Father Joseph Tylenda, S.J.- "The Pilgrim's Guide to Rome's Principal Churches", soon to be re-released by Angelus Press, this video series will take the viewer into over three dozen of Rome's most important, but often seldom known or visited churches and basilicas.
The video series will provide a detailed insight into the artists, the sculptors, the architects and the historical importance of these fantastic locations throughout Rome. While the series will include the major basilicas that are known around the world, it's primary focus is on the lesser known, but historically significant houses of worship that have had a dramatic impact on western civilization for almost two millenium. While this is not a religious series, the religious aspect cannot be denied. These buildings and the artistic treasures they hold have had a direct impact on our modern ideas of art, sculpture, architecture and civilization. Without these, we may have never heard of names such as Michelangelo, Carravaggio, Bernini and many more.
We anticpate completion of this multi-disk series in mid- to late summer 2010. Click here for the link to our website relating to this series...
