No, Not French Benefits, Nobody Benefits From Being French

| Edit Post
Well today seems like a good day to be silly. Everyone has heard the legend that Michelangelo designed the Swiss Guard uniforms. Well it is the 500th anniversary of the installation of the Swiss Guard as the official gate keepers of the Vatican. And many myths are being dispelled. One of which is that Michelangelo did not design the uniforms. They have those distinctive colors that represents the Medici family, in honor of Pope Clement VII. They are stylized because it made it easier to distinguish between friend and foe during combat. Other legends are dispelled as well. Like the one about the Leaning Tower of Pizza.
