We next headed to the Villa Borghese Gardens in Rome, Italy, 21 Oct 2024. It is on a hill next to the Piazza del Popolo and is a popular spot for getting a view of the Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica. While walking around the garden, we saw lots of busts, including those of Dante and Marco Polo.

“Double helix”

The Bramante Staircase is a double helix staircase in the Vatican Museums. Wrongly attributed to Donato Bramante, this staircase was designed by Giuseppe Momo in 1932, inspired by an older one actually designed by Bramante. This staircase is a double helix, that is to say it has two staircases, one to go up, and one to go down. So no one crosses each other in the opposite direction.
