brief title

Two Catholic nuns from the Asia region have walked from St Peter's Square in Vatican City, though Piazza Pio XII and are continuing down the wide street called Via della Conciliazione. Dressed in fine religious gowns complete with beautiful sashes around the waste they walk in step past a shop called Galleria Savelli that sells religious trinkets and other tourist ephemera. Sat basking in the sun is a dalmatian dog with its coat of dark spots and white skin as clean as the nuns' long dresses. Near the centre of the picture are the postcards of the Cisteen chapel and of Pope John Paul II who is seen waving at various Papal events. Also spotless is the Roman pavement which has been swept and cleaned very recently. In the distance is the magnificant Basilica di San Pietro from where the Pope addresses the weekly crowds.
