Steep yourself in the early history of Italy as you explore the Map Room with murals of old maps of the papal lands. The maps would be incredible enough on their own but the real amazing thing about the Map Room is the ceiling. Every single inch of the ceiling is covered by dazzlingly frescoes depicting biblical and mythological scenes. Discover curiosities like ancient Egyptian mummies that will transport you thousands of years back! Learn the story behind Michelangelo Sistine Chapel and understand the Creation of the World through the scenes depicted in the ceiling. More than 350 figures are portrayed on the ceiling, including families with children and angels and demons, some of them wearing the faces of Michelangelo contemporaries. Bordering the Sistine Chapel ceiling are 12 figures who announced the coming of Christ. The seven men are Old Testament prophets. The five women are pagan sibyls from ancient Greek and Roman mythology. The vibrancy of color and the size of the ceiling never fail to amaze and inspire. Children will be amazed at what went into this creation marveling at how Michelangelo could have painted the 12,000 square feet ceiling. Vatican children tour ends in St. Peter Square with Bernini rounded colonnades echoing the idea of the mother opening her arms to her children.

They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there,… Read More
