(ANSA) – Vatican City, December 21 – Pope Francis in his general audience on Wednesday said that Bethlehem was chosen as Jesus’s birthplace because it’s “not a capital, and therefore preferred by divine providence, which likes to act through the small and the humble”.
He said that, in its simplicity, the Christmas crib sends a message of hope.
“That’s why it’s important to look at the Christmas crib, to stop a bit and see how much hope there is in these people,” Pope Francis said.
(ANSA) – Bari, December 27 – The local chapter of the Catholic Action (AC) group on Tuesday voiced support for a Puglia priest at the centre of a row over his unsuccessful bid to hold a memorial Mass for a Canadian ‘Ndrangheta mafia boss killed in Quebec in May.
AC said it was “close” to Father Michele Delle Foglie, slammed for trying to pay homage to boss Rocco Sollecito, and urged its members to remember him and the small community of Grumo Appula in their prayers.

A DAY TOUR TO ROME
Travel in Rome is not an easy experience, this might be the reason why thousands of tourists visiting Rome, expect to have a good Roman guide , not only to understand the complexity of one of the most important cities in the world, but to live Rome as romans do. It is known that Rome was “caput mundi”: head of the world two thousand years ago, as everyone knows that “All roads lead to Rome” . Many people, instead, don’t know the reason of these expressions. This is our goal, to give you all the necessary answers in the exact location where these terms were born. Being an architect , with an urban planner master degree and coming from a Latin country, were the basis from where I started to study Rome.
Rome became alive and everything was a sort of a movie. This is the movie I love to narrate. My clients are delighted by my illustrations and their comment is always: Ximena, you are an excellent story teller. My background gave me the possibility to link Rome´s heritage to the rest of the world and this is my asset. I know what my clients want to know of Rome, because once I was a tourist in Rome and the doubts I had in those days, no one was able to respond. This is the challenge I had when I decided to become a Guide in Rome. Look after my doubts: why, who, where, how, when. Books and books, miles of walking to find the answers, the monuments, the buildings and study each one to comprehend their meaning. Now my clients have the privilege that receive a qualified explanation of the many curiosities they have treasure in their memories for years.
Hence, my architectural and urban background has allow me to offer extremely exquisite lectures for all kind of visitors. My private clients who are willing to have a stupendous Rome Travel during their Italy Cruises and expect to see the best of Rome in one day, normally contact me. For the shore excursions I send a private and professional driver to the Roman Port . What a joy to arrive at the port and a smiling and respectful personal driver is waiting you and your family, in front of the ship, for a day tour of Rome. You will feel delighted to skip the crowd and the chaos and to reach Rome in a comfortable private Van where I will be waiting you in front of the historical Rome.
My private tours of Rome are a stupendous movie. No movie will give you the passion, the fun and the joy than a Rome tour with a roman dweller. But not only, the fact of having a safe sensation of sharing your experience with a local that knows every tip and is familiar with customs, people and of course, the enormous Roman culture. The beautiful fountains like the Trevi Fountain, and its three coins´s tradition.
The Pantheon, with its glorious dome, and the Christian Rome with their hundreds of churches!!!
After a day tour with me, you will return to your ship rich and happy.
Come to Rome and visit Rome with an Architect.

FAMILY TOURS
My Family tours of Rome are focused on the child’s and minor’s goal of a trip: joy, fun, enchanting and captivating stories. My years of experience have given me the capacity to understand family’s need and dreams: to visit Rome as a holiday and not as a job. So every one of my visits are spiced with images, drawing, photographs of the actors of Roman history. The Ancient Emperors as Augustus, Tiberius or leaders like Julius Caesar were portrayed by their contemporaries and I will illustrate them to the families and children. Beside this, every building of Ancient Rome will be built up, through my exceptional books.
The kids that visit the Colosseum with me, become delighted with my theatrical explanations, full of details and stories regarding the gladiatorial games, the hunting of wild animals and the death of criminals. No movie expresses the real facts and the exciting background of the gladiators of Rome as my narration.
