Laurent Geslin (France) visited the Vatican City, the smallest state in Europe, occupying just 44 hectares within the city of Rome, with a population of around 800. The Vatican is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the only one consisting of a whole state. The Vatican gardens are home to a surprsing wealth of wildlife, including the aptly named monk parakeets, kestrels and a variety of other bird and insect life.
