Bracciano is a beautiful small town with only a castle to visit. Also, had a cellular data misadventure as my wonderful Mint service transitioned from international plan to mint wallet. In this change I needed wifi to convert and Italian access to wifi is challenging, and most especially I found in Bracciano.

That said…

Bracciano sits on a beautiful volcanic lake, and the castle while lovely, only took a half hour to visit for 10 euros. The Castle is from the 15th century and was a military as well as civilian residence. Was surprised to find frescos in the Castle. 

The residence area..

Returned to Rome after my visit stopping for lasagne at a local restaurant.

Then on to Vatican Square..

Note the pigeon on the Saint’s head in the picture on the right. 

Wonder if the bird is looking for a blessing?

What another beautiful day in Rome! Enjoy. See you tomorrow in Tivoli.
