This is the ceiling of the church of the Ara Coeli in Rome (next to the Vittoriano). The ceiling is made of gold taken from the enemy fleet after the Allied victory at the battle of Lepanto.
I'm a graduate student and tour operator living in Rome, Italy. Life is good. Studium Urbis! P.S. To know history is to be Catholic. P.P.S. Schedule your tour with us while in Rome.
