20 October 2006 ROME

Today we went to the Vatican, visited the biggest church in the world, Saint Peter's Basilica and the vatican museum. The arts inside the church and the museum are breathtaking...

Then we go around in the city of Rome...

Us in front of Fountain di Trevi
The fountain was built by the architect Salvi (1735) in the time of Clement XII, and decorated by several artists of Bernini's school. It is the front of a large palace (Palazzo Poli) decorated with statues and bas-reliefs on heaps of rocks.The fountain is not only celebrated for its excellent water but for the legend that whoever drinks it or throws a coin in the fountain, will assure his return to Rome.
