My trip to Italy during last Christmas is an unforgettable experience. The amazing cities and the magnificent architectural was breath taking. A place of olive oil, pasta, wine and sunshine, Roman ruins and renaissance palaces and its deep Catholic roots.
My first stop when touch down from the airport was a tour to Vatican City State, in a cold winter morning at 7am starting from St. Peter's Square and Basilica. Va
tican City is officially
called Stato della Città del Vaticano or State of the City of the Vatican. There were at least 20 policemen specialise in taking care of Vatican City guarding the streets and surroundings.

After touring the exterior, we proceed to the security check before we entered the church. Our tour guide guide told everyone to be careful with our belongings and never to put down our valuable such as camera on the floor when we take photos...not even for 2-3 minutes because that's how fast the snatch thieves took to steal. Don't be fool by the many officers on the compound because the snatch thieves are much faster.
