Città del Vaticano & Cappella Sistina


Drivers in Roma all seem to be crazy, and this is true as well for those on mopeds, buzzing around the city at all hours.



I would love to be able to lay down in the Sistine Chapel and absorb the fresco's alone, without the hundreds of others crowding around making noise. Is this possible?





The Vatican had countless rooms of art, mostly paintings and marble sculptures, but also many books, manuscripts, and early maps. Some of these 2D objects are in my Roma 2D post, where my eye was drawn to artwork in all places, often time amazing marble work in the floor.
