Vatican city, Italy: There is a lift that takes you half the way to the dome of St Peter's church, the remaining half must be climbed on foot. The last part of stairs is very narrow, as it follows the round shape of the dome, only one person can fit in, with a bit of difficulty. I was breathless from the climb and thought a few times of giving up. The dome was constructed under the supervision of Michelangelo, though he died before its completion. The thought that he might have climbed those same stairs, gave me a thrill. The panorama of Vatican city and Rome seen from the dome is wonderful.

वेटीकेन, इटलीः सैंट पीटर गिरजाघर के गुम्बज के शिखर तक जाने के लिए आधे रास्ते तक लिफ्ट है, उसके बाद सीढ़ियाँ चढ़नी पड़ती हैं, गुम्बज की गोलाई के साथ घूमती संकरी सीढ़ियाँ जिसमें एक व्यक्ति कठिनता से समाता है. चढ़ते चढ़ते साँस फ़ूलने लगी थी और कई बार मन में आया कि छोड़ो, ऐसा भी क्या दिखेगा. इस गुम्बज का निर्माण माइकलएन्जलो की देखभाल में हुआ था, हालाँकि इसके पूरा होने से पहले ही उनकी मृत्यू हो चुकी थी. यह सोच कर कि कभी उन सीढ़ियों पर वे चले होंगे, रोमाँच सा हुआ. उपर से रोम और वेटीकेन का दूर दूर तक का नज़ारा सुन्दर था.

Città del Vaticano, Italia: C'è un ascensore fino alla metà della salita per la cupola di San Pietro, per il resto devi fare le scale. L'ultima parte delle scale che segue la forma della cupola è molto stretta e una persona ci sta con fatica. Ero senza fiato mentre la salivo e avevo pensato di rinunciare. La cupola era stata costruita sotto la supervisione di Michelangelo, anche se era morto prima della sua conclusione. L'idea che anche lui aveva salito le stesse scale, mi piaceva. La panorama della città del Vaticano e di Roma vista dalla cima della cupola è bella.
