Roma - St. Peter's Square

A large crowd had gathered on St. Peter's Square in front of St. Peter's Basilica. In about two hours the Pope would enter the central loggia of Saint Peter's Basilica and give the "Urbi et Orbi" address and blessing. The atmoshpere was relaxed and reminded me on a music festival.

There was even an opening act, when different colourful uniformed troops, groups and bands paraded the square and took place in front of the Basilica.
