We were able to play matches at the Foro Italico in Rome. This is the site for the Italian Open. It was amazing to get to hit at this site! We had a great time and the guys loved hitting on clay!Zack, Evan, Spencer, Thomas, Cassidy, Daniel, Chris, Georgy, Harold, & Brad

This is the old Center court! It is covered for a beach volleyball match that was just played here. It is a great setting, notice all of the statues around the grounds! Zack, Chris, Cindi, Matthew, Vito, an Italian players mom, Harold, & Elaine
Vito is an ATP Tour supervisor. That basically means that he has been one of 2 key players in running the ATP tour. He has been doing his job for 30 years! There is no one you could meet that would know more about the players and who they really are!
Had to pose in front of the statue with the tennis racquet in his hand!
Daniel
Then we had a membership initiation to the "anchovy club!"
Brad was the 1st member.
Then we were able to hear some stories from Vito and ask him some questions about the "real" ATP Tour and the players!
Then off to St. Peter's and the Vatican! All I can say about this is that it is too amazing to say anything about! We started by going to the Vatican Museum and seeing the Sistine Chapel! But no pictures were allowed in there.
This canopy inside the church is 7 stories tall, that gives a little perspective on how huge this church is!
We hiked all the way to the top of the Dome on St. Peter's!
A view of the city!
In St. Peter's square!
