Why: I'm looking at this cool virtual tour interactive thing on the Vatican website that lets you swing around the whole room and zoom in and et cetera. I went there in 2001, but I'll be honest with you: I don't remember every little goddamn detail.

Answer: There are 9 "central stories" from Genesis / Bereshit (since it's Passover):

1. Separation of Light from Darkness (La Separazione della luce dalle tenebre)

2. The Creation of the Sun, Moon and Earth (Creazione degli astri e delle piante)

3. Separation of Land from Sea (La Separazione della terra dalle acque)

4. Creation of Adam (Creazione di Adamo)

5. Creation of Eve (Creazione di Eva)

6. Original Sin and Banishment from the Garden of Eden (Peccato originale e cacciata dal Paradiso terrestre)

7. Sacrifice of Noah (Sacrificio di Noè)

8. The Great Flood (Diluvio Universale)

9. The Drunkenness of Noah (Ebbrezza di Noè)
