FLEMINGTON, N.J., Feb. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Select International Tours, a leader in innovative faith-based travel itineraries and travel management, today announced immediate availability on several of its tours to Italy for two once in a lifetime events. The rare exhibition of the Shroud of Turin and the World Expo in Milan will take place in 2015. Never before has Italy been such a sought after destination as it is this year.

Turin is celebrating the 100 year anniversary of St. John Bosco, founder of the Silesian order, and has been permitted by the Vatican to show the Shroud in honor of this special anniversary year. This rare exhibition of the famous Shroud of Turin or Holy Shroud, in the Cathedral of Turin, will take place April 19 - June 24. The Holy Shroud has only been displayed 18 times and the last exhibition was in 2010, so it's a unique chance to see the Holy Shroud. During the 2010 exhibition period, more than 1.5 million people came to Turin to see the Shroud. Even more are expected in 2015 making it crucial to book well in advance.

Milan, Italy will be host to Expo Milano 2015 from May 1 to October 31, 2015. Over this six-month period, Milan will become a global showcase where more than 140 participating countries will show the best of their technology that offers a concrete answer to a vital need: being able to guarantee healthy, safe and sufficient food for everyone, while respecting the planet and its equilibrium. The Expo expects to welcome over 20 million visitors.
