Rome – October 12
We attended the regular Wednesday audience of the pope and had fairly good seats.
The crowd was huge.
“Triumphs and Laments” is a 500 meter long frieze on the Tiber River, created by selectively erasing the biological patina on the embankment. It celebrates the greatest victories and defeats of Rome from mythological time to the present. The display officially opened in April of 2016.
This is the end of our trip and, God willing, we will be home tomorrow afternoon.
