St. Pater's Dome - Inside

St. Peter’s. There are no words to describe the biggest Catholic Church in the world. According to the legend the first Christian emperor, Constantine, initiated the construction of the original basilica carrying personally twelve  chests full of stones, one for each Apostle. The church was entirely rebuilt between the 15th the 16th Century under the supervision of Michelangelo. Inaugurated in 1624, it is the celebration of the Baroque Style, housing some of the most beautiful statues made by Bernini, the second greatest architect and sculptor that ever worked in Rome, second only to Michelangelo. Next we arrive at the Colosseum, certainly the most famous of the places to visit in Rome together with St. Peter’s Basilica and the Fountain of Trevi. Built nearly two thousand years ago stills stands there in spite of the fact that for hundreds of years the nobles have been subtracting marble from it to build their churches and their palaces and the people have been stealing the metal that was keeping the blocks of marble linked together.

Making us think that sometimes men create things that last longer and leave a bigger mark in history than they would ever think…The Fountain of Trevi, after a stop in Piazza Venezia to take a picture at the Monument to the first King of Italy, Victor Emmanuel II, and the balcony from which Mussolini used to harangue the crowds. Yes, the world known Trevi Fountain, Bernini designed it, but everybody goes there to throw a coin in it, the legend says by doing that you make sure you return to Rome! By the way, should you be short of coins, it’ll be my pleasure to provide them… it’s a great investment! But that’s not it! Going from St. Peter’s to the Colosseum for example you drive though half of Rome and you sure see a lot of things! I can’t really promise it, because you may not be so lucky and take this tour in a day with a lot of traffic and/or with long waits to get into St. Peter’s Basilica, but normally in four hours you fit in some more places like Piazza Venezia and even the Capitol Hill or Michelangelo’s Moses.
