Rome has
influenced Western Civilization more than any city, by its conquests, its
law, its architecture, its preservation of Greek culture, and its religion.
No wonder it is of such great interest to all nationalities.
If you have not been to Rome in the last few years, you should not miss
the restored Sistine Chapel. Of course, a view inside St. Peter's Basilica
is mandatory, with its Pieta and dome by Michelangelo, the grave of
St. Peter and Pope John XXIII below the nave, and the recently restored
facade.
