Getting a Head Start on the Sistine Chapel
If you want to get a sense of the Sistine Chapel, take a virtual tour of the most famous fresco painted by the world's greatest artist (make sure you turn the music up). Michelangelo & The Sistine Chapel
If you want to read up on it, here is another Ross King book, this time recounting the four years that it took Michelangelo (and team) to fresco the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The genius of Michelangelo is underscored in this account. Understanding the process and what Michelangelo had to endure really made me appreciate Michelangelo's masterpiece and his genius even more. |
Food Tour in Rome
Eating Italy Food Tours offers three 4-hour walking tours that offer something a little different. We took the 'Twilight in Trastevere' tour which consisted of a four-hour guided tour that interspersed food, history and wine. You do have to book in advance and online reservations are easy. Pick a tour, a date and a time. The website will let you know how many open slots are available for your tour time and date. |
