Trevi Fountain and city scenes
14 мая 2022 г., Италия ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
We walked around the city proper early this morning on our way to see St Peter's Basillica. We stopped and saw Trevi Fountain as well as a few more popular squares along the way.
ПутешественникThis fountain is so romantic but beware... lot of thieves messing up with the tourist...
ПутешественникGood to know. We got to Trevi @ about 6:30 on a Saturday and there were many 20 people there. We were lucky to see it so empty. I think the pick pockets weren't up yet.

Vatican

The Vatican was an amazing experience. We saw, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. Photography was not allowed in the Sistine Chapel, but we took too many pictures around the museum.

So that is like the main control center... Exactly how long is that hallway?
ПутешественникOh, the Map Room? Yes, when the Pope was head of Rome was when it was created. Each painting was a zoom in of a region of Italy. Emily estimated it to be about 120 yds.
ПутешественникThey used to hold elaborate parties in the map room. Apparently the elite wealthy would congregate around areas they had knowledge on and speak towards them. If a guest was quiet towards the end of the night showcasing their lack of knowledge they would not be welcomed back.
