Barbara Jatta, the first woman to head the Vatican Museums, wants visitors to avoid being suffocated by the crowds and take in the lesser-known - but spectacular - attractions she helps to oversee.

"We have so many things that speak of history, it is important to get to know them too," added Jatta, 60.
