In 1870, the pope's holdings were further circumscribed when Rome itself was annexed. Disputes between a series of "prisoner" popes and Italy were resolved in 1929 by three Lateran Treaties, which established the independent state of Vatican City and granted Roman Catholicism special status in Italy. In 1984, a concordat between the Vatican and Italy modified certain of the earlier treaty provisions, including the primacy of Roman Catholicism as the Italian state religion. Present concerns of the Holy See include the failing health of Pope John Paul II, interreligious dialogue and reconciliation, and the adjustment of church doctrine in an era of rapid change and globalization. About 1 billion people worldwide profess the Catholic faith.

Also present and helpful on more than one occasion was Mr. Alfonso Gemelli, of the Gruppo Publiaci (with which IT.net shares offices and often collaborates). He seemed very interested in the BikeAbout site and mission and showed us information about something called BIKE live EXPO in which IT.net participated. Having already occurred from April 2-6, 1998, BIKE live EXPO is a huge annual event celebrating two-wheeled traffic. We discussed possibilities for a BikeAbout presence next year and agreed to keep in touch. For more information about this, please visit the BIKE live EXPO at

Travel To Vatican City : Reviews From The Lost Luggage Tales check out more reviews by country vatican city is the smallest state in the world, with only 400 people, and is one of the most visited in the world. http://www.lostluggagetales.com/reviews/vatican-city.asp
Extractions: Vatican city is the smallest state in the world, with only 400 people, and is one of the most visited in the world. This is mainly because it is in the middle of Rome and the 14.400 acres are packed with the most beautiful old churchs, monasteries and museums. Although Vatican City is independent it is completely surrounded by the city of Rome. This home of Roman Catholicism must be seen. It begins on the Tiber River and stretches west (about 1 200 m long and 800 m at its widest point). The first building seen from St. Peters Square is St. Peters Basilica (Michelangelo designed the dome and his Pieta is exhibited within). Plan at least three hours in St. Peters: After walking around inside be sure to go to the roof for the view (its usually hazy so you might just want to go up there for the pretty sunsets) visit its museum and see the grotto below (where St. Peter and other popes are interred). The baldequin over the central altar built with bronze looted from the Pantheon is an interesting example of baroque design. Other Vatican sights include the Apostolic buildings beautiful gardens the Piazza St. Pietro and the Vatican museums with its famous stairs. To many the highlight of the museums is the Sistine Chapel whose ceiling painted by Michelangelo has undergone a controversial restoration that revealed colors much brighter than seen previously. But the museums offer much more: The Etruscan and Roman collections are among the finest and most extensive in the world; the Raphael Stanzas are a series of spectacular frescoed rooms; the Gallery of Tapestries and Maps details the Earth as it was thought to be in the 16th century; and the Museum of Modern Religious Art highlights the 20th century.
