    Lovely. Although I really wish they did not update cathedrals in 99% of the cases. Baroque is fine and dandy, but guys...

It was Baroque-d in the middle of its Gothic and neo-Gothic periods, so when Pope Pius VI visited, it wouldn’t have looked quite like this…

Lovely. Although I really wish they did not update cathedrals in 99% of the cases. Baroque is fine and dandy, but guys it did not need to go ALL THE PLACES.
