In November 1999 my Mom and I made a trip to Italy. We visited Venice, Florence, and Rome.

Venice: Mom in St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco).

Venice: View along the Grand Canal. Taken from the vaporetto - boats which function as
buses and have regular routes.

Florence: View of the Ponte Vecchio.

Florence: View of the Duomo.

Rome: St. Peter's Basilica.

Rome: Mom and I climbed to the top of the cupola of St. Peter's. This is the view of Rome from the cupola.

Rome: Gardens on the Palantine Hill.

Rome: Mom admiring a fresco by the monk Fra Angelica. The Museum and Church of San Marco.

Pompeii with Mt. Vesuvius in the background. The Roman town of Pompeii was buried in 79 AD by a volcanic eruption.
