The Past Few Days...



Rainy Ponte Milvio

This will be a quick recap of the past few days. I find I cannot always remember what we have done and have referred to this blog to remember. So I had better make a brief note of everything. Some of these will get a longer post when we are back in Partigliano and have more time.

Baths of Caracalla

On Saturday we visited the Baths of Caracalla—well worth a visit! Afterwards we took a meandering trip back—bus to Ostiense, Metro to Termini, visit to a book store, Metro to Flamminia and Tram #2 back to Ponte Milvio.

Historic race cars waiting to go on track at Vallelunga

On Sunday, after watching the Formula 1 race, we went to Vallelunga to the local race track where they were racing historics. It was supposed to rain but turned into a beautiful day. On way back we decided to go see a movie—Wall Street-Money Never Sleeps. Both of us found it to be a good but unsettling/sad movie.



This would be perfect in a vacation home!

Yesterday (Monday) we had a lazy day and got started late. We drove to Fiumicino and had lunch. Then we went to the Nuova Fiera di Roma (convention center) to see a “home” show. It was lots of furniture, kitchens and house décor—all fine examples of Italian design.


Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna

Today (Tuesday) we are off to the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna. Given the fact it was founded in the 1880s the art is really not all that modern. The descriptions of the museum indicate it is lots of “early” modern art including impressionism and a school of Italian artists from the 1800s.
