In 1963, I was fortunate enough to travel through Europe and as part of my traveling, I visited Rome and The Vatican and saw the PIETA Sculpture by Michelangelo and what is more fantastical about my viewing of La PIETA was the fact that I could get close enough to the sculpture to actually reach out and touch it...
55 years later, my wife and I visited Rome, Italy and The Vatican when our Cruise Ship docked at the Italian port. While my wife was utterly amazed and transfixed by the sculpture.
I shared my 1963 visit with her and she asked, "Did you touch it?" and my response was, "I cannot remember."
