Settimana Due: Santa Maria in Trestevere

Settimana Due: Piazza di Spagna

The spanish steps are located near the very busy Via del Corso. It seems no matter what day you go, the piazza and the stores around it are overflowing with people.

The steps themselves are beautiful...and decently tasking to climb. I found it interesting that the top of the steps is the top of a hill, and a regular streetscape from there. It is a wonderfully composed piazza with apartment buildings lining it, creating not only a tourist attraction but also a hangout spot for locals. Va bene.

Roma: settimane uno. la villa guilia

La villia guilia is located on the outer edge of the central city. It was the home to Pope Julius III and is now currently a museum.

It is very peaceful and quiet, in contrast to the noisy city that surrounds it.

Roma: settimane uno. il campodoglio

This is michelangelo's plazza the campodoglio. It is an amazing space and my favorite by far so far.

The Roman Forum is located in the back of the plazza and has a direct view to the cupola of san pietro. The political intentions of this space was to connect anciet rome to the new catholic rome through symplism and architecture.

Roma: settimane uno. il pantheo

Rome is beautiful, although life here is going to take some getting used to. So far we've stetched at il pantheo, il piazza del campidoglio, e la villa giulia




















This is a view approaching the Pantheon from a side street to the left. The Piazza della Rotunda was very crowded so i tried to use people as object in the photos to demonstrate both scale and the atmosphere so the area.
