TE Talks! History, Travel, and All Things Italian
Longing to go to Italy? Listen in and we will take you there with stories, from professional guides, of wonderful places that will make your imagination come alive. As a traveler, I always felt that there was something missing when I would go on walking tours to see special sites and monuments. I wanted fire works!Remember in your life when you had that exceptional teacher, that you never forgot, because they made it fun to learn? That’s what I wanted and I went out in search of those people to built my company on that very premise!Now, we have been taking people around all parts of Italy for over 20 years. We started in Rome (where I am a licensed guide) and have expanded to Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, Florence, and Venice. Something that makes Through Eternity Tours special is that the staff and guides, who work with us, are exceptional. We have built very strong bonds together and we are all a great support network for each other. So many times I thought to myself that during these enthusiastic conversations that we have, wouldn’t it be great to share this with other people? That is why we have created TE Talks to keep the stories going to keep your dreams of Italy alive.

Episode 27
Rob and the wonderfully "solare" Beatrice have a fascinating discussion about Venice and its most important church dedicated to Saint Mark. They go over why it was so essential to have the relics of the Saint in the city and how Venice used its spin on the story to send a message to all that the city was truly a republic independent from the popes. It is a journey that spans from Constantinople, Alexandria to the heart of the great city of Venice. Learn about the Doges and the magnificent mosaics in this church all in one podcast!
