First and subsequent visits — 2 years ago
My first visit to the Sistine Chapel was not the most pleasant. As I gazed ceilingward, a person standing next to me got sick to their stomach and promptly vomitted. I wondered if she got dizzy looking up so much!
Fortunately, that is a rare event, and since I lived in Rome 2 years, I was able to see the Chapel numerous times as I took friends and visitors around town for a tour.
I did this in the 1980’s so I haven’t seen the Chapel since it was cleaned. I would like to see that now, and to see how different it is in colors, mood, impact.
There is some terrific artwork in the Vatican Museums around the Chapel. Worth seeing, too.
