A letter from an involved sponsor, advisor, or organization is also recommended for additional verification of a group’s intentions. Using the official response from the &#039;&#039;Soprintendenza&#039;&#039; along with this letter, one can then proceed to the church to talk to a priest to be granted access. <br /> <br /> Some priests will still want additional confirmation from their local Don or &#039;&#039;parroco&#039;&#039; (priest in charge of several churches other than his own). <br /> <br /> In case a priest is not present to grant access, researches must approach a local school or nursery run by the church and see if anyone with the proper credentials is available. If not, the church’s caretaker is usually available to arrange a time for researcher’s to come back and try again when the priest or others will be present.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> *1.
