Got word back from the Excavacations Office at Saint Peter's Tomb. We were not chosen to venture into the Necropolis. Guess we'll have to stay with exploring Rome the typical way... above ground.
Oh good news though! Ron Howard and Tom Hanks are shooting "Angels and Demons" in Rome right now. Maybe I'll be chosen to star (by "star" I mean help write the script) in a movie...
That's a shame - you'll get a similar experience, though, if you visit the Tomb of the Popes, which is located in the grotto beneath St. Peter's Basilica. It's the burial site for Pope John Paul II, among others. If you're touring the Vatican, it's definitely a must see =)
