The Momo staircase at the exit of the Vatican Museums is the modern equivalent of Bramante's original staircase from 1505. Built in 1932, architect Giuseppe Momo drew on the original double-helix design of a ramped staircase to allow livestock (or tourists) to move both up and down without ever intersecting. While the original staircase is off-limits to regular visitors, this staircase was definitely a suitable consolation prize! State of Vatican City

On our last morning in Rome, we both got up early to check out the Roman Forum. Expecting at least a few other photographers out there, we were surprised to arrive and realize we were the only ones silly enough to venture out that early! Nevertheless, we were greeted by the last few moments of illumination on the remaining architecture, as the sun began to rise behind the clouds. Rome was truly an incredible city, and we hope to return to continue exploring the rich history and photo opportunities it presents. Rome, IT
