Rome Italy

A detailed Summary of Rome Italy

I had learned I was being sent to Italy in March of 2000 for a machine tool exhibition. I found out the happy news just before leaving work. Excitedly I jumped into my car and started my journey home. As I drove home down I-95 through all of the usual evening traffic I just kept thinking about ho I was going to tell my husband we were going to Italy. That night I continuously paced the floor looking out of my bedroom window to see if my husband was home from work yet. As he drove up in our driveway I ran outside to tell him the good news. I said, "Nick guess where we are going in March?" Before he could even say where I yelled out "Italy"! Italy, he said with a puzzled look on his face. I then explained the situation with work and said to him since if I have the opportunity to go I thought it would be a great idea for you to come along with me.

As we entered into St. Peter's Basilica I began to smell the insents see the candles burning. The lighting was not that good inside it was very dim, there is no electric lighting the only light that comes in is through the stain glass pictured windows and the dome painted by Michaelangelo on top of the church. It is such a grand church, with many treasures as seen in the Vatican museums unfortunately I did not have enough time to take in all of the museum treasures. I did briefly walk through all of them, the one thing I will always remember the most were the paintings on the ceilings. Each museum ceiling had it's own special beauty, rows of painted pictures of ancient Rome. At the end of our tour of the museums we come to the most famous part the "Sistine Chapel", where Michaelangelo painted for 4 years glorifying the human body as only a sculptor could.
