Vatican Practice
OK, let’s see how much you
learned after taking the Vatican Virtual Tour. Ready?
Correctly label
the image that would be found in Vatican City by choosing the title on
the right for the picture on the left.
|
This
is part of the ceiling of the building. Yes it is above the Pope’s altar,
but find the object that fills the space below the dome.
This
is a floorplan of a building. Look again and find a canopy that covered the
Pope’s altar.
No.
This contains symbols of the Vatican and is used as an insignia, not a canopy.
Yes!
The Baldacchino is the impressive canopy over the Pope’s altar in St.
Peter’s basilica.
Incorrect.
You’ve chosen a sculpture--and a big one at that! The Plan of Castel san
Angelo is a drawing for the design of a fortress. Look again.
Wrong.
This is the huge canopy that fills the space beneath the dome. Now find the
dome.
Hey--this
is part of St. Peter’s cathedral, not the badge of the Vatican. Keep looking.
No,
this is the floorplan of a building. Find the object with symbols of the pope.
YES!
This is the Coat of Arms that contains symbols of the Catholic Church. The crown
is the Pope’s tiara. The keys represent St. Peter, the keeper of the gates
of heaven.
EGAD!
It’ll be tough to put this on your stationery! Find the object that contains
symbols of the Vatican.
No.
This is the interior of a dome. Please find the drawing for a building.
YES!
That’s it! Notice how it is designed in the shape of a pentagon (humm).
This
object is a symbol of the Vatican, not a floorplan. Find the drawing that shows
the plan for a fortress.
Yay!
You found the interior of St. Peter’s dome designed by Michelangelo!
This
is the drawing of a building, not part of a building. Look through the images
again for a part of a building.
No,
no. This is the emblem of the Vatican. It’s a flat, 2-dimensional object.
You’re looking for part of the building’s architecture.
