Amb. and Mrs. Wang(3rd and 2nd from right), with Contemporary Legend Theatre
On October 10, 2014, ROC Ambassador to the Holy See Larry Yu-yuan Wang and his wife accompanied the four players of the Contemporary Legend Theatre from Taiwan to visit the Vatican Gardens. The “Pope’s Gardens” are located inside the Vatican City State and they are private, not open to the public. Therefore, Ambassador Larry Wang arranged a private tour inside those beautiful gardens which are under strict surveillance. Pope Francis, and his predecessors as well, is known to be walking there after a day of particularly intense work in search of quiet and meditation.
While in the Vatican City, Ambassador Larry Wang met with Franciscan Father Giovanni Chu, the only Taiwanese priest to live inside the Vatican, where he has been working for many years. Fr. Chu accompanied all of them in touring the Gardens, which he explained in great detail.
In addition to the Gardens, Ambassador Wang also arranged for his Taiwanese guests a visit to the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica to enrich their cultural experience at the Vatican.
The members of the Contemporary Legend Theatre came to Rome to perform at “Roma Tre” University and to give a speech to the students on October 9. They thanked heartily Ambassador Larry Wang for the opportunity he gave them to visit those special places in his company.
