Final Day: Capitoline Museums

Sunday was cold but clear. We had taken Saturday afternoon off, so we headed out early for the Capitoline museums. This relief is typical of those we saw there.

Colosseum

And our Roma Antiqua tour ended at the Colosseum.

Day 3 Rome: Roma Antiqua

The tour of ancient Rome began on Palatine Hill.
Here's a view from there.

Day 2 Continues: Borgese Gallery

After the fountains, we made our way over to the Villa Borgese for our 5 p.m. reservation at the Borgese Gallery. This collection of sculpture in particular was a favorite. Yet another Bernini we viewed there, Apollo and Daphne, is unforgettable.

Trevi

Trevi was spectacular, a monumental baroque fountain by Salvi! While it was quite crowded, the mood was festive and exuberant, the rush of water and beautiful sculpture filling your senses.

At Piazza Navona

This Bernini sculpture/fountain was under construction but was fun to see anyway. Piazza Navona was so relaxing, a series of three fountains with cafes and lots of people out and about.

An Afternoon of Fountains

We enjoyed the beautiful, sunny afternoon by visiting fountains all around the city. Republican Square sports this lovely work.
