Rome – The Vatican and Il Papa

There are many things to see in Rome and one of them is:

Visit the Vatican to see the Pope

St Peter's square in the vatican

People start filling up St Peter’s square early morning on Sunday if the Pope (Francis) is in town. Around 11:30 it is getting pretty crowded and the anticipation is palpable, he is a popular guy! He appears from the window of the papal quarters in the vatican, although being a Jesuit and accustomed to more modest means, he lives in a room at the vatican guest house.

This is a very good place for a quick pizza bite, and you can have a beer with it if you like. Just don’t count on sitting down, there are a few chairs at a counter but the place is busy. Pizza is sold by weight and for two pretty large rectangles and a beer it was 8 euros.
