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.
