Need Help Translating Santuario di Nettuno site

Posted by on

I need some help translating the Santuario di Nettuno site. I am needing to know the times that it will be open on July 28 (Monday) or July 29 (Tuesday).

My daughter's saint that she took for confirmation is Maria Goretti and she really wants to visit the shrine. I figure that we can take an early train from Rome visit the Shrine and maybe look around Nettuno and be back in Rome my midafternoon. I know this seems like a lot of travel for just a short experience, but it is something special that she wants to do and I am happy to indulge her.

Google translate works great. Copy the URL and paste it into the box at Google Translate. You may have to choose source and target languages, but it also does auto-detect. Of course there will be minor errors in grammar, etc.

If you look back at the original text and know another Romance language, you can often discern a grey area ...

Note that a translation does not protect you from late trains or a line at the ticket window!

Thanks. :) I tried that but I still could not find times or get eveything translated. I am so lost with this site.

I find the mass times, but wondering if it would be possible just to visit the Shrine.

I checked the website and I see what you mean. I can read the Italian but I cannot get the Information section of the website (which should have information on opening hours) to open. Nor the Contacts section. You could try emailing them at the address provided at the bottom of the page; either in English or using a translator to help you compose it in Italian. In the meantime I have sent a message to someone who posted a review of the shrine on Tripadvisor asking about opening hours. If she responds I will report back.

OK, the Informazioni section opened on a different computer. It says that on weekdays in summer, Mass is held at 7 and 9 am, and at 6 pm. Additional Masses are held on holidays. Presumably between those hours the shrine is open for visiting. (The webcam shows a family is there right now, which would be 4 pm in Italy). Perhaps your daughter would like to attend the 9 am Mass and then stay to visit the shrine?
