Some Fun Facts
1. The palace was designed to be painted blue by the artist Bernini to match the sky. How romantic is that?
2. The palace used to be a vacation home for royalty. To communicate with their palace in Rome, they would use pigeons. For some reason this really made an impression on me. The lecturer claims that the birds were able to get the messages to Rome in less than an hour.
3. Everyone said that all Italians speak English. They lied.
4. They use military time over here. SOS.
5 The Italian lifestyle is really relaxing. I’m really beginning to feel the benefits. For example, I don’t feel stressed at all about the fact that I can’t speak the language or tell time or understand the money very well. Honestly.
