Inside the story continues with beautiful religious paintings and amazing stonework. It is well worth a day trip out of Rome to this town, it is... More

Just thinking of the architecture in each Duomo visited makes me feel like I step back in time! Don't know how they did it but I sure am glad that they did! More
