it's actually a pretty breathtaking ceiling. All the dude's are super ripped, muscly and shirtless and our plummy english tour guide said it's because Michaelangelo was a fllaaaaaaming homosexual, so there you go.

It's pretty funny, they tell people to be quiet because sound damages the ceiling, but a crescendo of murmuring tourists rises and rises and every 5 minutes they have an employee literally shush everyone like a library.

I’m not sure how enforced it is but they don’t like shorts and girls with tanktops and cleavage will probably get admonished. I think it really depends on the mood/weather/sexual neuroses of the security guards.

Not for commissioning the Sistine Chapel ceiling, but for this:

"Towards the end of his life, Clement VII once more gave indications of a leaning towards a French alliance, which was averted by his death in September 1534 in Rome after consuming the death cap mushroom. He was buried in Santa Maria sopra Minerva."
