Hot spots for tourists would include The Vatican, the Colosseum, the Tower of Pisa, the Sistine Chapel, and many more. My personal favorite would be the Borghese Gallery located in Rome. This museum has some of my favorite sculptures including the famous Apollo and Daphne by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. And that's only one of the countless baroque and renaissance sculptures housed there. ]]> 2020-09-28 17:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hollybraunsdorf/is5d85mfbfhsarw7/wish/785314111 hollybraunsdorf https://padlet.com/hollybraunsdorf/is5d85mfbfhsarw7/wish/785357839 Rome, Italy ]]> 2020-09-28 17:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/hollybraunsdorf/is5d85mfbfhsarw7/wish/785357839 hollybraunsdorf https://padlet.com/hollybraunsdorf/is5d85mfbfhsarw7/wish/785360145 Rome, Italy ]]> 2020-09-28 17:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hollybraunsdorf/is5d85mfbfhsarw7/wish/785360145 hollybraunsdorf https://padlet.com/hollybraunsdorf/is5d85mfbfhsarw7/wish/785374677 Italy experiences a temperate climatic zone.
