Vatican City

So Vatican City is actually inside Italy.
Its area is smaller than a regular university in China,
and its territory is not open to the public except for the museums.

Egyptian Hall

Seeing the mummies was a bit scary,
so I didn’t dare to take photos,
afraid of being haunted.

There’s also a statue of Anubis.

If you’ve played Assassin’s Creed: Origins,
you’ll see a lot of familiar elements.

Mythical Heroes

Unfortunately, when LittleMaster’s artistic literacy was not up to par,
he saw these artworks from textbooks and had no idea who was who,
ashamed, ashamed.

Pinecone Courtyard & Broken Earth

Laocoön and His Sons

Round Hall

In the center is a bath used by Nero during the Roman period.

Frescoes

Raphael’s Room

Sistine Chapel

There are Michelangelo’s The Last Judgment and The Creation of Adam.
No photography is allowed,
and each person can only stay for 15 minutes.

The Creation of Adam that we usually see is actually in the middle, and there are a total of nine sections.
God Dividing Light and Darkness, Creation of the Sun, Moon, and Vegetation, God Dividing Land and Water, Creation of Adam, Creation of Eve, Original Sin - Expulsion from Eden, Noah’s Offering, Great Flood, Noah Gets Drunk.

Spiral Staircase

I’m still shocked at the exit.
Who would have thought it would be here?

Holy Grail

Fate Stay Night

St. Peter’s Square

Castel Sant’Angelo

Suddenly, I’m reminded of Assassin’s Creed again.

Sunset

The first time watching the sunset.

The Next Day

On the way, a guy came over and recommended a one-day tour bus.
Took the money and said he would go get the tickets, then disappeared.
Just when I thought he was a scammer, the guy came back with two tickets.
The loop line allows you to get on and off at any designated stop, pretty good.

Pantheon

Too many people, so I just took a quick look from the outside.

Roman Colosseum

Wow, the last time I saw the Colosseum was during my gap year when LittleMaster was playing Assassin’s Creed: Revelations.
Climbing up the Colosseum, seeing the sunset 🌇,
I was stunned for a long time.
I never thought I would see it in the three-dimensional world,
it’s truly incredible.

Arch of Constantine

Hermès Wallet

Back to the luxury street in the CBD,
strongly recommended by the wealthy to buy Hermès bags,
saying that it is a top presence among luxury goods.

Before Apple introduced watch bands, I had never heard of Hermès,
so naturally I didn’t believe it.
I thought to myself, “I may not be well educated, but don’t fool me.”
I turned around and Googled “Hermès is not a luxury brand” and was surprised to find out that what the wealthy said was actually true.

Spent a fortune to buy a wallet the size of a palm,
carefully boxed it up,
and saw a gigantic box thrown into the trash pile next to it.
