Square after settling in at
their hotel (residence).
Everyone was appalled at
the size and age of all the
buildings.
Tuesday was a day of lei
sure, because the scheduled
days of events had not yet
begun.
Wednesday afternoon began
the scheduled events. Twenty
thousand youths gathered at
Castle St. Angelo, filed into the
moat and were entertained by
professional musicians for
