In the Footsteps of Popes: A Spirited Guide to the Treasures of the Vatican | 
Another library weeding rescue, this is a travelogue/guide to some of the treasures found at the Vatican. This is probably the closest I will ever get to the Vatican. This was also published in 2001, so it is nearly 20 years old. Since this is the home base for the Catholic Church, I squeezed this in to fit the #MarysBoyChild prompt. #WinterWonderland
TrishB It‘s a good squeeze! Rome is on my bucket list! 6y
mrsmarch @TrishB @Librarybelle I‘ve been to both the Vatican and Rome. The former is mind blowing and the latter is riotous and lovely. If I could have Rome‘s food and Florence‘s architecture I could die happy. 6y
mrsmarch @TrishB @Librarybelle If you ever hear I‘ve won mega millions, make sure you have your passports. On the list after paying off mortgages and loans is buying a flat in Rome. I‘m going to house an art student there free of charge part of the year (the only cost to them will be a piece of their work) and will spend a month or two there yearly. 6y

Librarybelle It sounds like a really good plan, @mrsmarch ! The culture of those two locations alone makes my historian heart beat fast. @TrishB 6y
TrishB @mrsmarch what a fab plan 👍🏻 make sure you‘ve many guest rooms for all of us!! 6y
mrsmarch @TrishB @Librarybelle Like Amy March, Rome will either make them or break them. Hopefully I can open up opportunities for young artists by putting a roof over their heads. That‘s me, art patronness! 6y
DivineDiana @mrsmarch What a fantastic plan! 6y
DivineDiana @Librarybelle A few years ago, I took a group of students to Italy. The Vatican took my breath away! Decided I must know more about the art of the Vatican! Stacked! 6y
Librarybelle @DivineDiana I am so captivated by it...between pictures I‘ve seen and documentaries. It has to be breathtaking! 6y
