Monday morning Dad, Mom, Marty & I went on the scavi tour at St. Peter’s. Scavi means excavation. The tour was of the excavation they had done under St. Peter’s to find the tomb of Peter that was supposed to be there. It was amazing! No pictures were allowed though, so you’ll have to go yourselves!
Below is a picture of the papal altar with the baldichino made by Bernini. St. Peter’s tomb is directly underneath.
Mom & Dad before the Pieta.
Incredible to see it in person.
One of the nativity scenes.
After lunch we took a walk to the Castel San’Angelo which is down the road from St. Peter’s. It used to be a papal palace. But first, it was built by Hadrian to be his tomb.
Tiber River!
On the Pont San’Angelo which Hadrian built so you could go see his tomb.
Gelato after the walk.
