The first photo was taken at the Vatican. We went to the Vatican with a tour guide and we saw a lot of Italian and Roman history. As you can see on the ceilings, there are portraits dealing with the Christian faith. Italy as a country is majority Christian.

The second photo was taken at Cozenza. It’s a small but beautiful city. It also has a lot of history but more with the political side. A common theme I see in Italy is that there are a lot of churches. We visited 8 churches around the same area in the city.
