Vatican Lofi Girl? 🇻🇦✝️
This is a deep cut from the Internet, but I love seeing the Lofi Girl art translated to the backdrop of different countries. Even though I’m not really into anime (except for Miyazaki movies, obvs), there are very few things that make me more comfortable with the idea of traveling somewhere new than these illustrations. I have not been able to find these illustrations for every country… but somehow the Vatican has one 😂 so here’s that. Credit for this illustration goes to u/Volpina17.
We arrived at the foot of Via della Conciliazione in later afternoon. The sky was gray, and the air held a cold moisture. We followed the masses of people up the road towards the giant stone gates. On either side of these gates, giant Roman columns stretched off endlessly. These marked the border between Italy and Vatican City. Perched on either side of the entrance were Italian military outposts manned by heavily armed but very bored-looking soldiers.
Crossing into Piazza San Pietro, though an international boundary, was decidedly anti-climactic. However, what we found on the other side of this plaza blew us away.
