Welcome to Passage to Roma
This is the companion site to our Passage to Roma - 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.
With this website we hope to provide you with a central point for information about Rome. There is a huge amount of information on the web about this wonderful city, the problem is that it is scattered all over the web. We are trying to put it in one place.

So what are we up to now? What are our next projects?
We just returned from Rome (January 2010) with our initial shots for our upcoming video series, " The Art, Architecture and History of the Churches of Rome", which is based on the monumental work of Father Joseph Tylenda,S.J. and his book "The Pilgrim's Guide to Rome's Principal Churches", soon to be re-released by Angelus Press.
We will be returning to Rome in February 2010 with additional video crews for additional shots on this series and for our conversion of Passage to Roma to SIX tours in HD.
The Churches multi-DVD set should be available in the summer of 2010. This video will highlight dozens of churches throughout Rome, focusing on their histories, and providing the viewer with detailed interior tours of these wonderful treasures of Rome. Father Joseph Tylenda, S.J., Doctor of Sacred Theology and the author of the "Pilgrim Churches of Rome" will be collaborating with us on this endeavor. His 3 decades in Rome, his knowledge of Church history, art and architecture are invaluable.

Dr. Christopher Longhurst will be hosting a new video named "Touring St. Peter's Basilica". This video should be available for release in the spring of 2010.
In addition he is assisting us in our new documentary video series "The Art, Architecture and History of the Churches of Rome". This series is based on the monumental work of Father Joseph Tylenda, S.J. and his book "The Pilgrim's Guide to the Principal Churches of Rome", soon to be re-released by Angelus Press.
Dr. Longhurst earned his Doctorate of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Angelicum University in Rome. Originally hailing from New Zealand, Dr. Longhurst has an amazing knowledge of the Vatican, the Church and Art History.
His ability to weave a story, full of intricate details, is stunning. He is an orator of the finest tradition and once he starts speaking you do not want him to stop.
Dr. Longhurst also has credentials in the fields of Philosophy and Law and has taught in the Department of Religious Studies on the faculty of Marymount International School of Rome for the past five years.
Presently, he operates a small tour company in Rome called "Sacra Sorgente". If you are interested in learning a great deal about the locations he visits, in our opinion there are none better than Dr. Longhurst.
