What are the odds of finding a non-Catholic church in Rome?
The book "Eat, Pray, Love" highly recommends the Gelateria di San Cripino near the Trevi Fountain
Who am I to argue?
Love and the Pantheon, what more do you want?
Have I ever mentioned that this is my favorite building in Rome?
Supposedly, a Pope had a vision of the Archangel Micheal saying a plague was over, so the Pope had this statue erected and placed on top of the Castel. The fact that Michael is sheathing his sword symbolizes the end of this particular plague.

Ahh, Gelateria San Crispino ... definitely in the top three in my Gelato power rankings. I always like the New York Times article on display outside the front door. Of course, I like the gelato better.
It took me three trips to finally find it, but it was well worth it!
The important question: What flavor did you go with?
It was warm, so I went with the safe pick by which I rate all gelaterias, limone. I was treated to a flavor EXPLOSION!
WOW, I was very happy that my pilgrimage was not in vain.
Later that evening I stopped there again for their stracciaitella, DOUBLE WOW!!
