Michelangelo's statue of Moses is located in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli (St. Peter in Chains). We visited the church on a rainy late afternoon... I guess finding it in the dark makes it off-the-beaten-path. To our delight it was completely empty--not a soul in sight. The great sculpture is part of the tomb of Pope Julius II, who commissioned Michelangelo in 1505. The church holds the chains of St. Peter, which were used to shackle him while he was in Rome's Mamertine prison.

I thought it might be a good idea to mail postcards home postmarked from Vatican City. I am not a stamp collector or anything, but I think stamps are a cool souvenir, as opposed to some of the corny items you see in the tourist trap shops in Rome. The nun working in the post office was so delightful, chatting away with us and offering helpful tips. When you go stop and say hi to her!

Every picture you have ever seen of the Spanish Steps has people crowded onto the steps, right? On a cloudy day in November, I counted less than 5 people. It was so unexpected, that I questioned whether or not we were in the right place! P.S. Look for an upcoming photo of this phenomena.

agree with you about the pantheon - and hi, we are neighbours on the ranking chart this week | AlexDJ Fri Sep 1, 2006 18:43 UTC
Ciao Nicoletta! Very useful tips in your Rome's page! You look like a real roman when talking about our Capital! Good job! | JohnEhrlich Thu Jul 27, 2006 18:56 UTC
Nicole, thanks for the great shopping tips. Since you don't like Vertecchi (I agree), can you recommend a top class paper store (not an art supply store) in Rome where I can find handmade paper? Any tips for Florence, Milan, or Tunin. Thanks! John | dookieshoe Mon Jul 17, 2006 00:25 UTC
My husband and I hope to visit Rome this November and was delighted to find your tips from your mid-November trip. Thanks for sharing! |
