This painting caught my eye due to all the Renaissance instruments and the snippet of music. You can see a viola da braccio, a postive organ, a lute and a cornetto. The music is a canon to the text "Gaude Maria."
This unassuming little church was designed by Bernini. It is tucked away in a niche of the Termini train station. This is yet another of my artistic photoshopping endeavors.
Rome has a lot of graffiti. I found this contrast between the "modern" and the "traditional" to be food for thought.
This tower at the eastern end of the Termini station cries out Mussolini to me. I don't know why. Mussolini era, in any event.
This is the ceiling of the papal altar in the center of St. John Lateran, which is
officially *the* cathedral of Rome. Only the pope is allowed to say mass from it.
This is the site of our final performance for the tour. We participated in a mass at 5 PM on a Sunday, and then gave a short concert afterwards.
