Nothing musical, but a sound sanitary advice: Go to the church of S. Francesco di Paola (not Assisi!), the patron of the travellers, and light a candle before his altar. I'm a fierce Lutheran, but I did it when passing through to North Africa, and his blessing kept me and my comrades safe for more than two months until we returned. If you can get hold of one of his medals, wear it during travel.
