  • An ancient temple with an open circular top. Thee marble floor has 22 small drainage holes in it.
    The Bronze alter in St Peters is a huge bronze one and when the sculptor ran out of Bronze the Pop said to "steal it" from the Pantheon so you will see where Bronze was replaced by wood in parts. Not unusual as the fountain in St Peters was in part made from materials " borrowed " from other Buildings.

  • A good central point .Of particular interest and one of our favourites was Il Vittoriano.
    A huge monument to the First King of Italy and also where a 24 hr guard and eternal flames are situated near to the tomb of the "Unknown soldier".
    Amazing views of most of central Rome from the rooftop which also has a [ unpublicised ] cafe /bar . A MUST .

  • Near what was the Spanish Embassy to the Vatican . Adorned with flowers in May I think but mostly with tourists .
    The shops are exclusive around here . Mywife took me into Prada [ armed guard in the doorway ] but there was no way I was going to pay over 1,000 pounds for a briefcase ---- we left quick as I also guessed she was after ANOTHER handbag.
    All the designer shops are around here ---increase you credit limits on those cards !

     Greetings old pal, how are you?

     Since I just adore Italy, I always like to see what other people's insights are. Thanks for such a delightful set of pages. Loved the comments about a cafe society!

     So, did you enjoy Rome? I'm not much of a big city girl, but I would love to see Italy.
    Henrik_rrb Fri Dec 16, 2005 13:25 UTC
     Ciao Bill! Good Rome-page! I had no idea about the café at Piazza Venezia, have to check that up the next time I'm there! And there should be a limit for how many handbags a woman can buy... ;D /Henrik
