Book Club Tours

A specially created Italian holiday awaits you Spring or Fall 2009. During our week together, you will experience fresh sights, golden treasures, and unforgettable moments in a country known for its breathtaking beauty, its art, its history, and its culture. We look forward to sharing enriching experiences with you, guided by books and literature. The tours begin from our base, located in the rolling olive hills north of Rome, known as the Sabina. When the Romans needed women to increase Rome’s waning population, they stole the Sabina women in a famous episode called The Rape of the Sabine Women, often captured in sculpture and painting. Later, the Sabina women returned to make peace between their new Roman husbands and their families. The Rome-Sabina connection is still strong today.
