The Pontifical Swiss Guard is a combination of tradition and modernity. Under his traditional Renaissance uniform is a young, modern and well-educated Swiss. These young people share the firm conviction that the Church of Jesus Christ and the Successor of Peter deserve commitment even at the cost of their own lives if necessary. Furthermore, they are united by a certain taste for adventure in an international environment, for camaraderie, for learning a profession in the field of security, for the intensity of their faith, for learning new languages and for getting closer to Italian culture.

Maderno Fountain, St. Peter's Square

Highlight • Monument

The fountains in St. Peter's Square are two twin fountains located in the square of the same name in Rome, included in the territory of Vatican City. They are placed on the main axis of the elliptical plaza, in line with the Egyptian obelisk located in the center. These fountains are a prominent element in the architecture of the square and have been designed by two important figures: Carlo Maderno, author of the façade of St. Peter's Basilica, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the great exponent of Roman baroque and brilliant artist of Square. If you want to know more details about these sources, don't hesitate to ask. 😊

St. Peter's Square

Highlight • Monument

St. Peter's Square is among the most famous squares in the world. It is a symbol not only of spirituality but also of culture, being among the greatest architectural works of the Western world. To understand its magnificence you have to look at it from above and you can do this by climbing inside the Dome of St. Peter. Inside the Basilica there are signs leading to the ticket office to go up to the Dome (the Basilica can be visited for free). The view you can admire from those 140 meters is unique and worth every penny paid!
