Saturday's recap...

On Saturday we ended up walking past a mansion that was holding an open exhibit of their library with books back well in the 1400’s along with a Bernini sculpture that they had “decorated” with a water, fire, and air theme. It was pretty cool. They had faux books hanging from the ceiling with a crystal pendant hanging from them and they were interactive…so they flapped in the air.
Following this we went to the Victor Emmanuel Monument and walked up a bunch of steps…and then went through their museums. What a view at the top. We got to the see Trajan’s monument, the Roman market place and some of the Roman Forum. After that we walked to the Capitoline Museum and ended the day walking to the Trevi Fountain…which is an absolutely wonderful fountain, tucked in a little section of nowhere!
