| An Art Tour of Rome, Part II |
Sat Nov 14 |
Slide Show |
Ken Collins |
This program will be a continuation of one given in late 2023. This presentation is based on a visit to Rome made in February of this year, and includes all new prime locations, including The Vatican Museums, the Galleria Borghese, the Baths of Caracalla, the Ara Pacis, Palazzo Barberini and Hadrian 's Mausoleum (Castelo Sant ' Angelo), along with countless churches, each of which houses amazing treasures.. Rome is a seemingly endless cornucopia of historical and artistic wonders from all eras of Western civilization, so it is possible to keep finding major new treasures to experience. February continues to be an excellent month to visit Rome - no major holidays, off-season, and surprisingly pleasant weather with early blooming trees, bulbs blooming and the first shrubs bursting into bright color, along with outdoor cafés bustling with life. |
