Piazza San Pietro

View of the Bernini colonnade around Piazza San Pietro (St. Peter’s Square) from one of the focal points. From anywhere else in the piazza, the colonnade looks like a wall, but from either of the two focal points, you can see through the colonnade into the surrounding neighborhood.

The mob that’s visible at the end of the video clip is people lined up to get into the basilica. We decided to come back early in the morning on another day, so we didn’t have to wait in that line.
