Something I had never had before coming to Italy: gelato!

Favorite Roman Architecture: St. Peter’s Basilica

Why I like it– put me into an absolute awe when I walked in; the amount of detail put into everything as well as the mathematical proportions done to make you feel like a doll in a dollhouse are amazing

History: built on the site of the Peter’s grave; made in honor of Peter who was chosen by Jesus to have the keys to the kingdom of heaven, upon whom Jesus would build his church. In about the year 300, Constantine started the construction and was used until about 1500 when Pope Julius II decided to rebuild it bigger and better.

Favorite piece of art: David

Description: David from the biblical story of David and Goliath, one of the most famous pieces of art in the entire world done by Michelangelo. This is the replica, but it is still my favorite!
