Sororis 16: An Italian Sojourn: Ceriana, Italy
Tour dates: July 6 – 19, 2008
Updated: 9/21/07
The Sororis 16 Italian Sojourn is for PGC Alumnae who are looking to experience “How Life Was” during the Middle Ages in Italy. Capture it, and bring it home. Sing with Ceriana’s premiere choirs, experiencing music of Ceriana’s famous confraternities, dating back to 1340, recreating this incredible ambiance. Explore hundreds of narrow cobblestone pathways and stone staircases that lead to beautiful churches, taverns, river, old olive mills, markets, spectacular vistas, and to the five medieval churches, where we will be learning some of the ancient repertoire, still alive in this remarkable town.
