Nous avons apprécié les commentaires de Marzia et l’étendue de ses connaissances sur le Vatican. La chapelle sixtine et la Basilique saint Pierre. Elle parlait bien Français en revanche nous avons regretté qu’elle ne nous accompagne pas jusqu’aux escaliers pour nous indiquer par où il fallait passer pour monter en haut du dôme. Nous ne l’avons pas pris… dommage
