👍👍 Utterly beautiful, almost no one there. Nearly unknown to tourists. In my view, a supreme masterpiece: beyond worth the price of admission - worth the plane ticket!

👍👍 La Basilica è bellissima in tutto!!! Sia per gli affreschi e le tante bellissime opere che vi sono all'interno e di come è tenuta.
