Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on YouTube, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown, and any other talented travel vloggers that YouTube’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)
Italy Travel - Rome, Still Exploring!
A brief stop in Rome, once again. This time we visit some less-known sights including several churches. You don't need to be a Christian, or even religious, to appreciate the marvelous architecture.
Santa Maria sopra Minerva is practically the only surviving Gothic monument in Rome. With it's star-filled ceilings and great art, (Michelangelo created the beautiful sculpture of Christ with the Cross), you can spend an hour in here just to enjoy some peace.
Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martir is an incredible sanctuary designed by Michelangelo himself within ancient Roman ruins - the Baths of Diocletian.
The Papal Basicilica of Santa Maria Maggiore is the original Vatican or church of the Pope. It was built over a Roman temple too, in 432 ad, and the design is based on the Roman Imperial style.
Naturally, we had to visit St Peters once again. Though always impressive we were struck this time by the staged design - - faux-painted marble, over-sized everything, mosaics for paintings (a maintenance consideration). But... there is amazing design work and several authentic art pieces including Bernini's unbelievable high alter piece, and of course, the Pieta by Michelangelo.
Other churches offer the best Baroque architecture in Rome, and unique architectural characteristics.
You'll also find pictures of the Pantheon, (Temple for All Gods), built by the Romans in a Greek style, and considered to be one of the key-stones of architecture.
The Ponte Sant'Angelo is the connection between old Rome and the Vatican and is worth a casual stroll. (The related Castelo Sant'Angelo is shown in other TravelFlix adventures.)
We also visit the Largo di Torre Argentina, (wonderful ruins in the middle of the old district), and a few other sights.

Teatro Farnese, Parma, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, Europe
The Teatro Farnese in Parma, was the scene of the court of the Dukes of Parma and Piacenza. Today is inserted in the path of the National Gallery and has recently become home to some concert and opera performances at the Teatro Regio di Parma. It was built from 1618 by Ranuccio I, Duke of Parma and Piacenza, which was meant to celebrate with a play stop in Parma of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo II, to Milan to honor the tomb of St. Charles Borromeo, canonized in 1610. the construction work was entrusted to the architect Giovan Battista Aleotti, said the Argenta (1546-1636) was built on the first floor of the Palazzo della Pilotta Parma, in a large room designed as Salone Antiquarium but always used as armory and as a venue for tournaments. The theater was completed in the fall of 1618 and dedicated to Bellona (goddess of war, in homage to the first destination of the environment) and the Muse: because of an illness that struck Cosimo II, forcing him to cancel the planned pilgrimage, the theater was neglected for almost ten years. Was finally opened on 21 December 1628, on the occasion of the wedding of Edward, son of Ranuccio, with Margherita de 'Medici, daughter of Cosimo. To celebrate the event was staged the show Mercury and Mars, with texts by Claudio Achillini and music by Claudio Monteverdi: in the course of the work was also flooded the auditorium and staged a naumachia. Because of the complexity and the high costs of the stands, the theater was used only eight more times, the last in 1732, upon the arrival of Don Charles of Bourbon in the duchy. The Argenta was inspired at the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, built by Palladio in 1580, and the Ancient Theatre of Sabbioneta, built between 1588 and 1590 by the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi. Housed in a large living room (87 meters long by 32 wide and 22 high), the auditorium U consists of fourteen steps on which they could be accommodated around 3000 spectators: the top of the auditorium are two orders of serliane, the lower Tuscan and the upper ion; the stage is 40 meters long, with an opening of 12 meters. The structure was made of wood (spruce del Friuli) and entirely covered with stucco painted to simulate marble (materials characteristic of ephemeral architecture, which was to be the Teatro Farnese).
The sculptural decoration (statues of mythological plaster cored with straw) was entrusted to a team of artists led by Luca Networks; painters, led by Giovanni Battista Trotti said Malosso, Lionello Spada, Sisto Badalocchio, Antonio Bertoja and Pier Antonio Bernabei, had to provide not only for wall, also to the now lost ceiling. It is considered by some one of the first theaters to be equipped with a permanent proscenium arch, however, when the theater was built no representations were held there. After the performance of 1732, the theater declined inexorably: was almost completely destroyed during World War II, in a bombing by the Allies on 13 May 1944. It was rebuilt between 1956 and 1960, according to the original drawings with the recovered material and inserted as prestigious entrance of the National Gallery of Parma.
Only recently, after inactivity lasted almost three centuries, the theater has returned to host theatrical events with a very first performance in front of 1500 spectators took place June 12, 2011 the maestro Claudio Abbado and his Orchestra Mozart. However, with the inclusion of the theater as a venue for some of the works of Verdi Festival 2011 organized by the Fondazione Teatro Regio di Parma that can be sanctioned his final rebirth. The first works on the bill held in the theater have been staged on 6 and October 10, 2011, respectively, with the Requiem (Verdi) and Falstaff (Verdi).

Lviv National Art Gallery:
Lviv National Art Gallery (previously - Lwów Art Gallery, Polish: Lwowska Galeria Sztuki), a leading art museum in Ukraine, has over 60,000 artworks in its collection, including works of Polish, Italian, French, German, Dutch and Flemish, Spanish, Austrian and other European artists.The gallery is based on a Polish institution, Lwowska Galeria Sztuki, which was founded in 1907 as a municipal museum, following the purchase of the collection of Jan Jakowicz by the city magistrate. Later on, the gallery expanded as the parts of the Władysław Łożyński (1914) and Bolesław Orzechowicz (1929) collections were incorporated. In early 2005 the collection of European art from the 14th to the 18th centuries was transferred to the new premises - the renovated palace-residence of Count Potocki, the former governor of Austrian Galicia. A masterpiece of Georges de La Tour, the 17th-century French artist is presented here on permanent display.
In 1940, after the city of Lviv/Lwów had been occupied by the Soviet Union, Soviet government ordered nationalization of private property. As a result, works from the Lubomirski family museum, the Baworowscy Library, and some other private collections came into the possession of the gallery. All these works had until the 1939 Invasion of Poland belonged either to the Polish state, or to Polish private collectors, as well as Roman - Catholic church.

Also on display are paintings by representatives of Brueghel School, for example, a painting by Joseph van Bredael who worked in the style of his famed predecessor at the beginning of 18th century. Pieter Neefs I, who often worked together with Frans Franken II, a master of small figure compositions, represents the church interior genre. Further on view is a pair of portraits by Gerrit van Honthorst – Man with viola da gamba and Woman with a guitar (1631).

The Lviv Art Gallery also possesses two battle scenes by the Flemish artist Pauwels Casteels, whose works are rare in museums collections.Wikipedia
