A symbolic embrace, recalling Bernini's splendid colonnade: it is the idea behind the new St. Peter's Official Area, recently inaugurated and dedicated to all pilgrims and tourists visiting the imposing basilica.
Located in Via della Conciliazione, the space is the welcome point where, greeted by a multilingual team, you can receive information about the Basilica - such as features and new and fascinating details - and itineraries and places of interest in Rome.
The service combines spirituality, technology and inclusivity: besides the possibility of exchanging personal dialogues with religious and laypersons, the Official Area makes available state-of-the-art technology - touch walls, totems and outdoor and mobile operators equipped with tablets - offering a memorable and dynamic visiting experience, flanked by projects dedicated to schools during the Holy Year and unique educational tours and exclusive and immersive visits, also for the visually impaired and people with disabilities, all accompanied by guides accredited by the Fabbrica di San Pietro.
