At the time of writing this post, watery sunshine and the palest of blue skies may have returned to Rome, yet earlier today the city looked very different - Romans and tourists were able to enjoy the rare treat of seeing the major landmarks of the Eternal City under a picturesque covering of snow!
It is extremely unusual for snow to fall in Rome – in fact, the last time the capital saw any significant snowfall was back in 1986.
The saints in the snow here are (from left to right): St. Francis of Assisi, St. Bernard, St. Benedict, St. Ignatius Loyola and St. Remigius.
