I speak Italian, I've lived in Italy for a year and visited the Sistina Chapel at least
twice. Is it enough for you?

It sounds much better in French, but then, everything does.

I don't understand what "enough for you"? means. I have lived in
America or 67 years plus, visited Italy once and know a bit of French
and a few Italian words. I live in South Philly and have a lot of
Italian friends and I still speak English. My family came to Virginia
in 1617 and stayed, not to speak Italian but mostly english.
And did you at least see the wonderful digital replication of the
chapel? It is better to see that than to see it in person many say.
