Rome, Italy – The Toledo women's basketball team wrapped up its final day in Italy on Monday with a visit to the Vatican City. The Rockets will return to the "Glass City" Tuesday evening.
"This whole trip was very, very special to me," said senior Mariella Santucci, a native of Bologna. "It meant a lot to have my teammates, coaches and quite a few fans make the trip to my home country. I loved showing off my culture and way of life to them, and I think they loved it back."
Toledo received a three-plus hour guided tour of the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church.
