Day 3 - Final Gallery

Just before descending to the Sistine Chapel, the tour detours into a couple of rooms. I have no information on the art here - let me know if you have anything.

Just another masterpiece hanging on the wall

Crest of Pope Pius the Ninth in the ceiling - 1858

Another grand ceiling.

Another magnificient image on the walls

A super sized painting!

Sistine Chapel

No photography is allowed in the Sistine Chapel, which is really quite amazing. Even more so with Paola's explanation of some of the more subtle and amusing features.
