Rainy Piazza Navona Video

 A rainy noon in Piazza Navona. I will note that the guys who pop up to sell umbrellas as soon as it starts raining have raised their price from two Euros to five, which I guess is not terrible inflation for over a decade. Enjoy.

It looks like you two had a good time in Rome. I hope your forays into the restaurants there was as good as our. Best pasta in my life. I really enjoyed your photos of the frescoes. We had not seen any as wonderfully preserved as those. It's a shame that they don't all hold us as well. I look forward to see your future travels as well.

Thank you, we did. Not sure how to respond 'properly' but I am glad you enjoy the frescoes. I regret not taking more photo sphere type pictures to capture things like the frescoes in the nature room. There were some remarkably well preserved ones presented in some of the museums we saw.

Just for you I'll do another frescoes post and see how many I can dig up from the trip. Enjoy

The collection is heavily weighed towards painting, particularly the Spanish masters such as Goya, Velazques, etc. If you have taken an art history class, you have studied many of these paintings. It was pretty incredible. We got there before it opened, and the line wasn't too bad. It wasn't that crowded, especially at first. If you want sculpture or modern art, go elsewhere, but if you are interested in classical painting, you can't do much better. Afterwards we had an excellent lunch at an Itallian restaurant as we walked north. We were walking to the National Archaeological Museum . The museum is mostly closed for a major renovation, b ut a small collection is available for viewing. Looking at thier plans for expansion, this is going to be a amazing museum when it is finished.
