Really? Two young men, I was surprised that didn't want to add their own marking. I was always amazed how open these early Italians were in expressing sexual images and naked men and women.They were more realistic then the pious of today.

After lunch, we stayed with the group. The tour leader continued with tours of several houses. The first house was of Venus in a Shell. I looked at Colin, “The house was named after that fresco.” The tourist trade was an important to Pompeii. This house had gardens and porticos that were well maintained as if people still lived here. It was a good representation of the way people lived before the eruption. Over the next few hours we followed the group to the house of Lorries Tiburtinu

If you like the art of Michelangelo, Dante, and the other masters, Italy has some of the best examples of this art genre
-
I am glad you feel that way

Missing chapter is up again, permanently I hope. Of all the countries I have visited, Italy would be in the top three.

Yes, the position of Pope was similar to King and some of the Medici where instrumental in using whatever means as possible to become Pope. Check chapter 33, It's now up.

During breakfast, the hotel clerk came to tell us our tour bus had arrived. “Finish your coffee while I go and talk to our driver.” I no sooner introduced myself to our driver when Colin was next to me. I introduced Colin to our driver. Taking our seat, but not before introducing ourselves to those who were on board. As it turned out, we were the last to board. Heading south, we stopped at Naples. I believe this stop was to give the Neapolitan street merchants a chance to sell their wa

“Where are we going today?” “Since you were so naughty last night, we are going to church.” “You were just as naughty as I was.” “Laughing, we are going to the Vatican.

Thanks Tony. Going from an Apple 3 to an Apple 13, takes a relearning curve.

I'm glad your appetite was directed to Italian food.
-
Yes, and of course they are hungry. I found the people in Italy very friendly

Yes, I think if I had to choose a place to live in Europe, Italy would be my choice
-
I didn't realize what happened so I will be careful

I am using a new computer which has a way of acting on it's own. Hopefully I have corrected this chapter

Walking back toward our hotel, “Armand, I know there was a reason for those steps. Carla was so busy telling us about going to America she never said anything about the Steps.” “The Steps were named Spanish Steps because at the base of the Steps was the Spanish Embassy. I think the interesting thing is that the Steps were commissioned by the French king, Louis XII, and funded by a French diplomat, Stefano Gueffier. When Gueffier died he left his money to the project. I always thought that i
