Footsteps of St Augustine

Milan, San Gimignano, Cascia, Ostia Antica

St Augustine was the Bishop of Hippo (now Annaba, Algeria) and was extremely influential in history, known as a doctor of the Church. He was a renowned theologian and prolific writer as well as a skilled preacher and rhetorician.  Starting in Milan where St Augustine studied, we will take you from the Milan Duomo to Pavia where his relics are buried. We will continue through the Tuscan countryside to San Gimignano, a picturesque town with a skyline of medieval towers, where we will visit the Augustine Convent, Siena, Florence and Augustinian nuns in a hermitage in Lecceto.
