Stendhal syndrome

This photo was taken inside the Vatican museum. (Needless to say, it is a "cropped" version of a bigger photo!) It pretty much sums up the reaction of being overwhelmed by the fantastic artworks in Roman Musei Vaticani, Musei Capitolini, Galleria Borghese & Florentine Galleria degli Uffizi, Galleria dell'Academia, Museo del Bargello & numerous other galleries/musea. Especially Florence, being the home of da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello (all artists; not Ninja turtles), Galileo, Botticelli, Vespucci, Machiavelli, Dante, Boccaccio, Ms. Nightingale & many others... just too many for a single city!
