Italy - Rome, Florence, Bologna, San Marino and Venice
hangchoi:
Heading straight from the St. Peter's Square will lead you to Castel Sant Angelo. A castle once was the residence of the Pope.
From there you can oversee the Basilica de San Pietro. Now it is just an old building.
hangchoi:
Castel Sant Angelo's entrance is facing Tiber river. The Ponte Sant Angelo connects the east side of Rome. We walked through the bridge to our next spot, Piazza Navona. On the way we go to Piazza, we passed by a gelato shop which the chef was showing his skill on making gelato.
In this trip, we tasted a lot of different gelato, will show you the shops and stories later.
hangchoi:
Piazza Navona is a crowded place. People go there to see the Fontana dei Fiumi, a work of Bernini. This is a fountain using 4 different sculptures to represent four different rivers from different continents, and an obelisk stands in the middle. The four rivers are the Nile representing Africa, the Danube representing Europe, the Ganges representing Asia, and the Río de la Plata representing the Americas.
Can you identify which is which?

After that, we walked to Patheon. On the way we visited a cafe shop. The cuppuccino of this cafe is rated the best one in Rome. We bought some coffee beans too.
hangchoi:
Pantheon, long queue again because there was just a ritual running. The ceiling is big and beautiful. This place also has a number of tomb for the national heroes. The last one is the tomb of Raphael.
