I recently got to go to Italy to explore some of the incredible art and architecture in Rome and Florence. My family, friends, and I put together a DIY Catholic art pilgrimage. It was a quick trip, lasting only a week, but it reignited the creative fire in my soul.
Here are some of the places that we went…
In Rome: The Spanish Steps The Trevi Fountain The Pantheon The Colosseum and Roman Forum Santa Maria Maggiore Santa Maria della Vittoria Vatican City St. Peter’s Basilica The Vatican Museums
View from the top of St. Peter’s Basilica
In Florence: Santa Maria del Fiore The Uffizi Galleries Galleria dell’Accademia Pitti Palace Boboli Gardens Ponte Vecchio Santa Croce Piazza della Repubblica Piazza della Signoria
Outside of the Uffizi Galleries in Florence
Places we ate: Al Passetto di Borgo (i rigatoni alla norcina is said to have been a favorite of Pope Benedict’s) My Sugar Pino’s Retrobottega Gustapizza Acquacotta
Florentine Steak at Acquacotta
In Florence, we stayed at this sweet little convent that was within walking distance of all of the places we visited. We highly recommend it!
