I haven't got a clue who all those guys are around the top of St. Peter's, but I'm sure they're all saints. One thing I never got over in the Vatican was that if there was space to put something, there was something placed or painted or fresco'd or somethinged. It was weird to go to Florence after this and visit the Duomo there, because it seemed so plain.
The Vatican was my first real experience of sensory overload. There are so many people, so many things to see, so much emotion and history and, well, stuff. I could have spent a week in there and still felt unfinished. And to think we had three hours.
