Jan,
I just
looked at your picture of the Italy-Vatican border. It looks like you are
not actually standing at the border. I think the wood fence is a
barricade, and way of controlling the crowd. The actual border follows the
outside of the columns and in a more circular fashion. I believe it's
about ten meters or so to the left of where you are standing. The pictures
I've posted before show the border in this location.
Keep
the pictures coming.
