Have you read the book Angels and Demons? Have you seen the film starring Tom Hanks?
The Vatican - that special good third place - is featured as its key setting. I have visited the Vatican and spent some quality time within its walls. It is a country; a church; a school; a place of worship; a place of politics and government. It is a place that is unlike any other place in the world. If you ever get the chance to spend time in Rome, you must go to the Vatican.
National Geographic has produced an amazing film about the Vatican. It was given inside access and went to places never seen before by the public. Click here to check out this film on SnagFilms. This is a wonderful production, very educational and informative.
Thanks for the nice show on the Vatican. Have you seen John Roemer’s “Byzantium” that was on Discovery several years back? A nice watch. Glad to see you appreciate history.
