Nice one Zaffs. I've often stood and stared at these guards when visiting Rome. I wonder how they go on a hot Rome summer's day? I imagine they sweat buckets...

It also gets very cold in Rome in Winter. Nothing like northern Europe of course but still cold when you're standing there like a statue.

Ozi, I assume the Vatican Guards would wear winter uniforms to protect them from the winter weather.
