From Roma to Amelia

I could not allow my family to leave Rome without seeing The Pantheon or the Piazza Navona. So on the day that we were scheduled to head out to my beloved Amelia, we squeezed these two in.

The Piazza Navona. Absolutely gorgeous in person. In ancient times they used to flood the entire square to use it to stage maritime fights. I wish I had seen that!
To the right is the Church of St. Agnes in Agony (why was she in Agony? They cut off her head). In the center is the famous Bernini sculpture of the four rivers.
Upclose. Some of you may recognize this from Angels and Demons. :-)
The Church.
The fountain and the church.
Still playing catch up on the blogs. More to come soon!
Ciao ciao!
