After a pilgrimage to MichelangeloŐs Pieta, we climb to the top of St. PeterŐs Basilica. We seek out tucked-away Renaissance paintings and a cleverly-painted false dome. At the Borghese Gallery, itŐs exquisite sculptures by the master of marble, Bernini. Then we join the locals on an after-dark stroll, lacing together RomeŐs Baroque and bubbly nightspots.
