"Sigo primo al vaticano"

Back baby, i'm back. Life was here and there. But the blogging continues!!
Rome is to be finished! And greece is here to be blogged too. So come with me and let's jump into the adventures of my life.



Back to Rome.

I follow down Via Del Corso, lots of stores and street vendors. Many beautiful people and something turns my eyes, something before my predefined destiny, and I turn without thinking. Via Antonio Canova... sounds good. And at the end, there it is! Instituto Di Belle Arti. Doesn't show on the maps, but it called to me. Beautiful, with political messages, right in the stile of the demented artists.
I start to look for Mausoleo Augusto, but the place is under maintenace...circling the place there are some interesting monuments. A museum in Ara Pacis, glassed so we can the the exhibits from outside. Which is quite good, cause it saved me the ticket and disapointment. What a prety shitty exhibit.
Roaming north to Ponte Nenni. I got to go see it, reminds me of sweet Francesca (nicknamed Nenni).
I come back the same way and cross the river Tevere through Pont Marcherita.
Follow the river on Lungotevere Mellini till Ponte Cavour, where I turn right heading on Via Vittoria Colonna till Piazza Cavour. Another place under constuction and maintenance. Take a few photos, the surrounding thread (malha) is prety interesting. (Sim Antonio, eu disse Malha)
I start a conversation with a french woman that asks for aid to get up to the place I positioned myself, so that she could compete with my photos. A few laughs, either on my very weak french, or her butchered english.
Piazza Del Tribunali and Palazzo Di Giustizia, boring.
On my way.
Piaza Adriana (LOL) and starting to pass the gardens of Castel Sant'Angelo, that according to Johny Bigodes on the turist center closes at 17:30, and the Vatican closes at 16:00.
Sigo primo al Vaticano.
Throught the Egiptiany Via Della Conciliazione (small detour to Ponte Vittorio Eanuele II).
Vaticano, anouced by the avenue and culminated by Piazza Pio XII, and mithical Piazza S. Pietro.
Reminds me of Fatima, alot of priests with briefcases, they look like executives! And so many monks in habit!
After a long walk arround the Ciutá Dello Vaticano, i find the entrance to the museum. In I Go!
Episode with security guard and X-ray machine, "you have a knife? you have a knife?"
I show the guy it's only batteries for my camera...
Beautiful things and all that, as in most museums. Beautiful gardens, tapestries. And FINALY! the chapel! The genius of Miguel Angelo.I couldn't photograph it...
But the image will not be erased from my mind.
The mithical spiral stairs, and out.
Vatican, religious or not, a must.
Even if just to run and go see the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
