Italy was amazing. I can't describe how amazing it was. Even these photographs can't do it justice. I am an art history major so being able to see the things I have been studying about for the last 3 years was incredible. I never really appreciated the works of art as much until I saw them with my own eyes...especially artists like Bernini, Raphael, and Bonticelli. They really had a gift. One of my favorite things while there was the Biennale which is a huge contemporary art exhibition of artists from all over the world. I was really inspired by the works of art. I also loved being able to walk the streets of Rome and Venice and just explore.
