Vatican visit breathtaking experience for UT players

University of Toledo sophomore center Luke Knapke documents the men’s basketball team’s trip through Italy for The Blade.

As a Catholic, our trip to the Vatican today was really special to me. The artwork we saw throughout our tour was spectacular and beautiful. It was really breathtaking. It was something that I’ve always wanted to experience, and I’m really lucky to get that opportunity. The Sistine Chapel was amazing with the paintings on the ceiling by Michelango as well as the walls telling stories of what happened during the time of Christ. We were also able to walk through Saint Peter’s Basilica during our tour and that was way beyond my expectations.
