During his stay in Rome, Goethe noted, Its beauties have lifted me little by little to their height.
Over a century later, American poet Edgar Lee Masters (1868-1950) visited the Eternal City and claimed he seemed to be reaching the heights of art / And to breathe the air that the masters breathed, / And to see the world with their eyes.
Certainly, Rome's beauty can give great joy to anyone who is able to appreciate its wonders of art, elevating their hearts to the sky.
