Il Vaticano - il 28 giugno

This afternoon we will be going to the Vatican museum.  Later I will post the new photos.

Prof. Sani discussing the history of the Vatican Museums. 

Our view of the opposite branch as we listen to the history lesson.

The architecture of this building is incredible.

The top of this building also has a huge arched balcony.
In the center of this Vatican Museum area there is a modern sculpture by the Italian Artist Arnaldo Pomodoro (this last name means tomato).  I really liked this sculpture because it turns around like a sphere.  Also it is a piece of modern art placed here.  I never saw it before.  His work can also be found in the U.S. in Washington, D.C. and in New York City.

Heading inside to see Canova's statue.
