The bathroom was not too dissimilar from ones you'd find in Protestant Midwest American small town…read morechurches. It was actually kind of charming now that I think about it. 6/10.
I feel REALLY bad for starting this review with a bathroom review, but I have to commit to the bit. Now onto the meat and potatoes.
I toured Italy with my college choir last May and we were in several basilicas over the course of twelve days, including St. Peter in the Vatican. However, even compared to ALL of the cathedrals and basilicas we sung in or even set foot in, this is still my favorite. This was the most colorful one we were in. The frescoes were so vibrant for being up to 800 years old. We had the honor of hearing a local adult choir sing before we did and they put us to shame, in no small part to the heavenly and divine acoustics of this gorgeous basilica.
I am not Catholic, but this was a religious experience for me. Even if you're not religious, I recommend going here if only to marvel at this cathedral's stunning architecture and artwork.
10/10
