Roman Drinking Fountain
Rome, Italy
I was off on a walk and look what I found, a Roman drinking fountain, in Italian a nasone or a fontanella. I was so excited that I had to show my family, so I made a video. We all laughed as I put my finger under the running water to have the stream of water come out, it did, and it hit me in the face.

We decided to take a walk thru Rome. We walked along the Tiber River and saw some beautiful sights! Castel Sant’Angelo was built by the Emperor Hadrian as a tomb for he and his family in 134 AD. His ashes were placed here a year after he died in 138 AD. In later years it became a fortress for Popes. Today it is a museum.

When we arrived in Rome I soon found out that there are a lot of churches there. My attitude at first was that all churches are the same, so I would walk past them. After about a year of living in Rome, one day I didn’t walk past a particular church, but rather, I walked inside and I was amazed at the beauty I saw. I soon found that every church is different inside and from then on I always went inside a church to enjoy the wonder and beauty of it! This church I visited many times over the years and I took this photo of a column and the ceiling in 2005. Santa Maria sopra Minerva was built on top of the foundations of a temple dedicated to the Greco-Roman goddess Minerva, thus sopra Minerva (above Minerva). I still remember the first time I walked inside this church, I was in awe at the beauty of the ceiling!

St. Peter’s Basilica
Vatican City
The Apostle Peter was crucified upside down, because he considered himself unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus, in 64 AD. Tradition says that it took place near an ancient Egyptian Obelisk in the Circus of Nero. The obelisk now stands in St. Peter’s Square. Catholic tradition holds that the Basilica was built on the burial site of Peter, now a Saint and for Catholics, their first Pope. There have been many churches on this site, this newer one was completed in 1626.
