Vittorio Emmanuele II monument

Italy's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Looking down on Piazza Venezia

A little bit of rain and lots of tourists

One of Fausto Coppi's bikes

Part of the Coppi exhibit

The Lance Armstrong of his day

Wonderful views from part way up the monument

Great fountain!

Palazzo Farnese--the French Embassy

He seems surprised to be part of a fountain

Interesting plea for donations for the poor

I love peaking at the interior courtyards

The top of this door is only about 5 1/2 feet tall

One of the many lovely "sky" gardens in Rome
