The canonization of John Paul II and John XXIII was on tv and church bells were ringing a lot Sunday morning.
We went to look at Sant Ivo alle Sapienza:
Mass was being conducted inside. We then walked toward the Colliseum and saw a lot of piazzas where tv screens were showing the canonization.
Monument to Vittorio Emmanuele:
Crowd around the tv screen:
Lots of police, first aid vehicles, free bottles of water but only a few porta potties.
First we went for lunch at Taverna Fiori dei Imperiali:
lamb meatballs:
carbonara special:
chocolate cake with almonds:

Dinner at Ditirambo, same place we went to the last night for the handmade pastas:
