A simple holy water fountain in St Peter's Bascilica!
Our B&B was also wonderful. It had a full kitchen which was available to us any time, and it was only a 10 minute walk to the Vatican and an easy walk to many of the other sites we wanted to see. With the exception of a half day rain, the weather was also perfect so we walked our feet off and learned to use the buses and metro to get around. Very easy.
We saw most of the major sights: Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Roman Forum, St Peter’s, Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums, Michelangelo’s Pieta, the Pantheon and a few churches. Lance might say otherwise, but we did NOT visit ALL of Rome’s 900 churches. Some are more interesting than others, but all are free and at the very least provide a quiet place to sit and have a rest. Then there are the gems where you find a little know work of art such as a Michelangelo sculpture or modern bronze sculpted doors that are a storey and a half in height.
