VATICAN BY TRAIN TO CASTEL GANDOLFO | Vatican City Day Trip from Rome, Italy
We finally made it back to Rome, and today we are going to join the Vatican by Train journey to Castel Gandolfo, Italy!
Our full-day Vatican City ticket started off with skipping the line at the Vatican Museums. We spent two hours inside the museums and saw a few highlights such as Sistine Chapel and Raphael's Room. It was followed by a guided tour to visit the famous Vatican Gardens.
Not many people know that there is such a thing as Vatican Train Station inside the city wall. And along with a Vatican City Train Station, there is a Vatican Day Trip that you can take on the Vatican train.
A TrenItalia Jazz train departs from the train station inside Vatican City to go to the final destination of Castel Gandolfo. It's a unique day trip from Rome.
Here's the official description of the program:
With the exceptional opening of the Barberini Gardens and of the Museum of the Apostolic Palace, the Pontifical Residence of Castel Gandolfo welcome the public at large.
Visitors who book the Vatican by Train will have access to the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Gardens and to the botanical and architectural wonders of the Pontifical Residence, known by as the “second Vatican”.
A couple of links for you to tours from Get Your Guide. We make a small commission when you book tours using our links. There is no extra cost to you though.
Full, private tour of the Vatican and Castel Gandolfo. It's a bit expensive but worth it:

Eine einzigartige Reportage auf dem Luftwaffenstützpunkt der deutschen Bundeswehr in Decimomannu auf Sardinien. Der Kameramann der Steffen Walter Studios begleitete das Culinary Team Let's Go Magic Germany beim Kochen und Zubereiten der Speisen für das Sommerfest.
Eine große Herausforderung bei 37°C im Schatten. Doch dank des Teamspirits des Culinary Team unter Leitung von Karlheinz Haase war es ein voller Erfolg. Die Krönung war noch der Start des Eurofighters, den das Team hautnah miterleben durfte. Echtes Gänsehautfeeling!!

La strada statale 130 Iglesiente (SS 130), già in parte nuova strada ANAS 372 Variante di Musei (NSA 372), è un'importante strada statale italiana. Collega il capoluogo sardo con Iglesias. Il suo tracciato è quasi interamente a due corsie per senso di marcia, con le carreggiate separate da spartitraffico. È classificata strada extraurbana secondaria.
Inizia appunto a Cagliari, dal nord della città, e scorre per i primi chilometri in direzione nord, passando a fianco all'aeroporto di Cagliari-Elmas (che la strada collega a Cagliari e al resto dell'isola); prosegue quindi deviando verso ovest e scorre a fianco dei seguenti centri, che sono raggiungibili tramite uscite: Assemini, Decimomannu, Villaspeciosa, Siliqua e Domusnovas.
Termina di essere una strada a doppia corsia poco prima dell'abitato di Iglesias, che è raggiungibile tramite una via secondaria. L'ultimo tratto, su strada normale, termina immettendosi sulla strada statale 126 Sud Occidentale Sarda, a sud della stessa Iglesias.

Rome is the capital city and a special comune of Italy (named Comune di Roma Capitale). Rome also serves as the capital of the Lazio region. With 2,872,800 residents in 1,285 km2 (496.1 sq mi), it is also the country's most populated comune. It is the fourth most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. It is the centre of the Metropolitan City of Rome, which has a population of 4,355,725 residents, thus making it the most populous metropolitan city in Italy. Rome is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio (Latium), along the shores of the Tiber. The Vatican City (the smallest country in the world) is an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states.
Rome's history spans 28 centuries. While Roman mythology dates the founding of Rome at around 753 BC, the site has been inhabited for much longer, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe. The city's early population originated from a mix of Latins, Etruscans, and Sabines. Eventually, the city successively became the capital of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, and is regarded by some as the first ever metropolis. It was first called The Eternal City by the Roman poet Tibullus in the 1st century BC, and the expression was also taken up by Ovid, Virgil, and Livy. Rome is also called the Caput Mundi (Capital of the World). After the fall of the Western Empire, which marked the beginning of the Middle Ages, Rome slowly fell under the political control of the Papacy, and in the 8th century it became the capital of the Papal States, which lasted until 1870. Beginning with the Renaissance, almost all the popes since Nicholas V (1447–1455) pursued over four hundred years a coherent architectural and urban programme aimed at making the city the artistic and cultural centre of the world. In this way, Rome became first one of the major centres of the Italian Renaissance, and then the birthplace of both the Baroque style and Neoclassicism. Famous artists, painters, sculptors and architects made Rome the centre of their activity, creating masterpieces throughout the city. In 1871, Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, which, in 1946, became the Italian Republic.
Rome has the status of a global city. In 2016, Rome ranked as the 14th-most-visited city in the world, 3rd most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist attraction in Italy. Its historic centre is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The Vatican Museums are among the world's most visited museums while the Colosseum was the most popular tourist attraction in the world with 7.4 million visitors in 2018. Host city for the 1960 Summer Olympics, Rome is the seat of several specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The city also hosts the Secretariat of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) as well as the headquarters of many international business companies such as Eni, Enel, TIM, Leonardo S.p.A., and national and international banks such as Unicredit and BNL. Its business district, called EUR, is the base of many companies involved in the oil industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and financial services. Rome is also an important fashion and design centre thanks to renowned international brands centered in the city. Rome's Cinecittà Studios have been the set of many Academy Award–winning movies.

The Class D.445 is a class of diesel locomotives used by the Italian Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) railway company and by Trenord. 150 units were built between 1974 and 1988, divided into three series.
The D.445 represented an evolution of the FS Class D.443 locomotive, maintaining the predecessor's reliability and operational capabilities. At the beginning of the 1970s FS, during a plan aimed at the expansion and modernization of current service. The first series of locomotives, introduced from 1974, were built with curved front windscreens which would be later replaced by cheaper and sturdier flat ones.
In 1979 a second series was ordered, fitted with the Italian standard 78 wire control equipment for use with driving carriages. At the end of the 1980s the whole group consisted of 150 units which allowed the retirement of the then old D.341 and D.342 locomotives.
1st series units originally had curved windscreens, replaced in the 1980s by flat glas, later used on 2nd and 3rd series units. Their maximum allowed speed is 130 km/h (81 mph). Like most FS stock, some D.445 have received the XMPR color scheme (white, green, blue).
1st series - The first series consists of 35 units (Numbered from 1001 to 1035), in green-over-Isabella brown livery.
2nd series - The second series has 20 units (Numbered from 1036 to 1055), in the Navetta orange/purple livery used by push-pull trains.
3rd series - The third series has 95 units (Numbered from 1056 to 1150), in the same push-pull livery as the 2nd series.

MSC Bellissima Rescue at Sea
A 55-year-old woman had a life-threatening illness and had to be airlifted off of MSC Bellissima by an Italian military helicopter.
An AM helicopter rescues a woman aboard a cruise ship

Today, Thursday 30 May, an HH-212 helicopter from Decimomannu's 80th CSAR Center ( Combat Search and Rescue ) intervened to help a US woman suffering from serious illness on the MSC Bellissima cruise ship.
The intervention of the military aircraft, which took off around 9:00 from the Sardinian military base, was necessary to allow the patient, a 55-year-old woman in imminent danger of life, to be able to reach the nearest hospital in the shortest time possible. Once they reached the cruise ship, which was located about 40 miles south of Capo Carbonara and was headed to Spain, the rescuers turned on by lowering the winch and thus allowing immediate embarkation of the patient on board the military aircraft. 118 medical personnel took part in the rescue operations, providing assistance during all the transport phases.
Landed shortly after 10 on the landing pad of the Brotzu Hospital in Cagliari, the woman was immediately subjected to the appropriate health care.
