Italy Photos - Vatican


I think they bear a striking resemblance, don't you?

The Vatican Museums are really amazing. Everything is extremely ornate, and guilded in gold. Tons of statues and tapestries. You can't take pictures in the Sistine Chapel, but its beauty can bring you to tears. I highly recommend a stop there if you are touring in Italy. Michaelangelo was obviously a genius. The Pieta is next door in St. Peters Basilica, this also can be quite moving, (although during tourist season you will have to keep moving just to keep it in your line of sight)
