Mission San Juan Capistrano Debuts Italian Version of Audio Tour

Mission San Juan Capistrano debuts Italian version of the award winning self-guided “Voices of the Mission” audio tour Friday, March 19th, 2010.

Directly after the official press conference for Saint Joseph’s Day, Return of the Swallows, the Mission will be conducting a ribbon cutting ceremony for the sixth version of the audio tour with Italian Dignitaries, City Officials, and Mission supporters in the ruins of the Great Stone Church.

“With Capestrano, Italy, being the sister city of San Juan Capistrano, CA and the Mission, we are proud to be able to offer an Italian version of the audio,” said Mechelle Lawrence-Adams, Executive Director of the Mission. “It is our hope that the Mission be better understood by guests and inspire them to be the voice of the Mission’s future.”

The Mission currently offers the self-guided digital “Voices of the Mission” audio tour daily for visitors. The tour is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Vietnamese, and (beginning March 19th) Italian.

The hand-held audio player or wand given to each visitor offers a 45-minute tour featuring music, history and storytelling about California history and uncovers the birthplace of Orange County, CA-Mission San Juan Capistrano. The audio tour grants the listener the unique opportunity to experience history first hand, learn new things about the Mission never before heard, and see the Jewel of the Missions up close and personal.

Lawrence Adams: “We also believe our multi-lingual program is a perfect program for students of foreign languages. The latest language translation further illustrates and responds to the Mission’s appeal to people from all over the world.”
