How could anyone resist!!!!!!!!
Vatican City is a walled city inside of Rome where the Pope, St. Peters Basilica and the Vatican Museum are.
Many masters were commissioned over the centuries by many Popes and Cardinals to paint the ceilings throughout the Vatican and Museum. This is the location of the “Sistine Chapel”. This is the location of the Last Judgement by Michelangelo.
…and behind the alter is the “Last Judgement”.
Villa dEste Tivoli located outside of Rome built in the small town of Tivoli is known for the gardens and fountains.
The waters flow throughout Italy from the mountains known as “Aqueducts”, the best mineral water you can drink.
Does Fernanda remind you of anyone???? …and yes she was wearing underwear!!!…I think.
Castle Saint Angelo, Rome was used once as a prison and a focal point for dramatic arts which had a direct underground tunnel from Vatican
Notice on top of Castle Saint Angelo the statue this is the close up below, which of course we climbed and took this picture.
