STUDENT` S CORNER. My trip to Italy (by Irina Podolskaya)

I would like to tell you about my last journey, which I had two months ago. I traveled with my best friend Inna. She has fallen in love with Italy from the first sight. And she tried to go there together with me all the time.  Fortunately, I gave up very fast. 

We had 10 days journey and wanted to visit Rome and Bologna. We reserved the hotels there by internet.

The hotel in Rome was in the center of the city. It was very comfortable, because all historic places were near us. 

Rome has had an immense historic influence to the world and modern society over the ages. And we hiked around all historic places of the city.

The most interesting place for me was Vatican. It’s a state within a state, with its own goverment and policy.  There were a lot of famous masterpieces of architecture on Vatican’s territory. For example, Basilica di San Pietro, Cappella Sistin, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. The most beautiful is Cappella Sistin, which was created in 1473-1481. There were a lot of  beautiful paintings and mosaics along.

Especially, I liked Italian people, who smiled all the time, had a great sense of humor and could talk to you about everything, even if you didn’t know each other. I think it’s a great quality.

Certainly I should say about Italian food. The most strange meal, which I had - . It’s thin pieces of bacon with  pieces of melon. Very delicious!  

If I have an opportunity, I’ll go there one more time, because Rome is a very beautiful and interesting city.
