We then walked over to Santa Maria della Vittoria. Center stage is "The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa." Bernini takes the Renaissance mastery of realism and breathes emotion into it. Here he captures the feeling Theresa described when the angel pierced her heart with a heavenly arrow: She said, "The pain was so sharp that I cried aloud. But at the same time I experienced such delight that I wished it would last forever.” This was one of the markers in the book and the movie representing "Fire," also another dead cardinal was found in this church burned. I know gross you have to read the book or see the movie!

We walked back over to Santa Maria del Popolo church and square. We relized after we left we didn't see the Bernini statue. Which we later see was covered. Oh well we got to see a few other things.
