- City trip Rome
Known as "Caput Mundi" (capital of the world), Rome, perhaps, is the most compelling and fascinating of all
Italy's historical cities. There is arguably more to see in Rome than any other city in the world, with the relics
of over two thousand years packed into its sprawling metropolis. A vibrant mixture of medieval and ancient history, baroque architecture, Italian art and modern fashionable designer shops.

Roma Termini - train station in Rome
Rome Termini of today and the ancient Roman station, a temporary wooden shed, have one thing in common:
they are located at the end ("termine" in Italian) of a railway network. The name Termini has however nothing
to do with this peculiarity; it originated instead from the fact that the station is close to the Diocletian Baths, which in Latin are called thermae.
Today's Roma Termini is a hub of services and resources directly interacting with its surroundings.

Vatican City - Vatican State
The Vatican City, one of the most sacred places in Christendom, attests to a great history and a formidable
spiritual venture. A unique collection of artistic and architectural masterpieces lie within the boundaries of this
small state. At its centre is St Peter's Basilica, with its double colonnade and a circular piazza in front and
bordered by palaces and gardens. The basilica, erected over the tomb of St Peter the Apostle, is the largest
religious building in the world, the fruit of the combined genius of Bramante, Raphael, Michelangelo, Bernini and Maderna.

History of Vatican City
Independence: 11 February 1929 (from Italy)
The Holy See's diplomatic history began in the fourth century, but the boundaries of the papacy's temporal
power have shifted over the centuries. Popes in their secular role ruled much of the Italian peninsula, including Rome, for more than a thousand years.

Thomas Eccardt
This unique book examines the history, culture and inner workings of the seven smallest independent
countries in Europe. These are among the oldest lands in Europe, despite their diversity, they have much in

independence, economic viability, native languages, and forms of government. The second part of the book
describes each microstate in turn, showing how each one has met these challenges and adapted over time.
These concise and engaging histories contain cultural information on subjects including the arts, gastronomy and popular tourist sites.

Gregorian Chant Home Page [ Princeton University ]
The main purpose of the Gregorian Chant Home Page is to support advanced research on Gregorian chant,
particularly in the graduate seminar "Problems in Early Christian Music" (Music 511) taught at Princeton. The
scholarly study of Gregorian chant is a wide-ranging, multi-faceted venture that interacts with many other
areas of study, just as the liturgy for which it was created influenced many other areas of individual and social life.
