This was really like walking in a dream....
Those huge Roman statues in marble, the barque on the celing, some amazing paintings on the walls,Raphel´s "Aristotle and plato" and finally the Sistine chapel....Oh I can recall it all very vividly even now. And it was Michelangelo all over the place! From the design of the dome, the famous spiral stairs, the fancy costumes of the vatican guards and of course those fantastic paintings in the Sistine chapel.But the most astounding piece was Pièta.....Simply breathtaking!!!
Wait till you see the photos!
