Buon Giorno! (Part 2)

I decided I liked my Honeymoon Pictures Post better than Buon Giorno! (Part 1) so I've made the pictures smaller this time. Just click on them if you want to see something bigger.

Roma

Colosseum


> The Pantheon
> Views from the top of the Spanish Steps
> Big mouth face building down the road from the top of the Spanish Steps


Città del Vaticano

St Peter's Basilica
> 3rd pic: Michelangelo's La Pieta


The Vatican Museum
> Perseus with the head of Medusa, by Antonio Canova
> Raphael's School of Athens
> A replica of Michelangelo's La Pieta where you can get a good look at where Michelangelo signed his name after hearing credit for the sculpture being given to another.


Tivoli

Lovely views, gardens, and fountains at the Villa d'Este



Napoli

> View from the fortress Sant'Elmo
> Castel Nuovo
> Meeting hall in Castel Nuovo. Called "The Barons' Hall" because in 1486 the barons plotted against King Ferrante I. He found out about it and invited them over to celebrate his granddaughter's marriage. Then he had them locked in this room, arrested, and later executed. This room is now used for meetings of the City Council.


Pompei

The Temple of Jupiter at the north end of the Forum, with Mount Vesuvius in the background


> Odeon Theatre - smaller theatre used for musical performances, poetry readings, plays, and mimes
> Oven & millstone
> The ritual depicted in this Fresco is a mystery - which is why the villa is called the Villa of Mysteries. Unrelated to the villa: Telamons and niches from the Forum baths


The end.
