I arrived　at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris
by the Air France on Sunday, September 21.
We changed the flight in Paris and left for
Leonard Da Vinci airport in Rome.

It started sightseeing in Rome from next morning.
We will make a round trip of Italy　by a sightseeing
bus for one week.

　　　









　　　


　　（St.Peter's Basilica ）

　

　It is the first Italy visit for me though Italy is said
　that their standard of traveling abroad for young
　women. Italy is the third visit for Miss Miwako
　Yasuno who is my niece. The first visit place is
　Vatican of Catholicism of the world. The smallest
　independent country in the world has only the area
　about three times Hibiya Park in Tokyo. We visit
　St.　Peter's Basilica first.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　





























　Museo Vaticani　　



　　

　The corridor with 284 columns surrounds the turn to vast St. Peter's Square
in front of the Basilica. The 140 saints' sculptures line on the upper part of
this corridor. The Basilica was completed in　1626 though the origin of it was
4th century.

It is impossible to take pictures for us as it is very dark in the church. Still,
a lot of people were watching in Michelangelo's sculpture "Image of the Pieta"
at 23 years old. It is an image of Maria who embraces the Christ taken down
from the cross.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　




　

After our lunch we returned to Vatican
again by taxi at free time of the afternoon
though there was no chance to enter
Museo Vaticani in the tour. We could see
a lot of masterpieces of West art,for　
Example, Raphael and Da Vinci, etc.

We drank coffee at the garden of the art
museum after enjoy of many works. There
are many youths from the many countries
of the world. 　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

















　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　Next visit was a standard of sight-
　　seeing in Rome, Fontana di Trevi.

　　The bottom of the pond was being
　　washed  when we　visited. Still many 　　　　 　　tourists and also I threw backwards
　　coins into the pond.

　Colosseo　
　Ruins of Roman times have been left everywhere
　in the Rome city. Foro Romano especially is the
　one that was excavated and reproduced　after
　the 19th century.

　Huge amphitheatral of Roman times is Colosseo.
　It was completed in A.C. 80. It is said that fierce
　animal and gladiator's ghostly fights were continued
　until being closed at the time of the sixth century.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　














　　　　　　　　　


　

　The last visit of sightseeing in Rome was Piazza
　di Spagna where became too famous by the movie
　“Roman　Holyday”. It crowded with a serious
　tourist as expected. We coud see the famous
　church,Trinita dei Monti at the front of staires.
　A symbol of the Piazza was built at the 15th
　century.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　














　

　I also looked at the plaza and the street of the
　previous state for a while sitting on this stairs.

　There are many brand shops in the street,
　Condotti for example from start Gucci, Louis
　Vuitton, Ferragamo, Versace, Mila Schon and
　Benetton to Prada. Japanese young women
　were doing the row in front of the shop of
　Louis Vuitton. Spectacle that seems to be　
　abnormal almost.
