Papal audience moved
http://www.santasusanna.org/popeVatican/tickets.html
I can't find this city on the Italy train website. Anyone know where this city is? I've got Scavi tour tickets for 3:30 that same day back at St. Peters and would like to get to both events that day.
Anyone ever been to this place before?

Castel Gandolfo is about 40 minutes south of Rome in the Alban Hills. Commuter trains leave Termini at least once an hour. The Audience should be over by noon so you should be able to make a 3:30 Scavi Tour.

Castel Gandolfo is the Pope's summer residence and has been for ages. I didn't have a problem getting it to come up on Trenitalia. Be sure to enter it as above. It appeares only R trains are available which have no class choice. The trip is about 40 minutes and costs 1.7E. Some of the trains that stop in Ciampino take longer to get to Castel Gandolfo - as much as 90 minutes.

mdtravel -
the santasusanna link you posted says that the audience (if held) will be in Rome
"the Pope will be helicoptered into the Vatican on Wednesday morning",
why are you trying to go to Castel Gandolfo?
