Vicki's Photo Tour of Rome, Italy - May 2008

Sightseeing in some of the worlds most famous (and busiest) places provides an interesting challenge - getting the shot uncluttered and making it feel like something no one has seen before. Rome in May has to be as beautiful (and beloved) a subject as exists on the planet. Join me for a stroll.......

Rome. In a country where history is deep, no city, not even Firenze can beat Rome. It's a favorite destination and this year, when the Motogiro d'Italia started in Rome I knew a few extra days to sight see and add some shots to this gallery would be perfect. This is a photo of a map fresco from the hall of maps in the Vatican museum, one of my favorite rooms in the museum. A wonderful personal travel guide
