Museo Centrale del Risorgimento Italiano

From the official site:

‘The Central Museum of the Risorgimento at the Vittoriano was destined to gather the testimonies of the political, economical, and social transformation of Italy during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. These testimonies consist of papers (letters, journals, work manuscripts), paintings, sculptures, drawings, engravings, prints, arms, which recall the events and chief protagonists of this important period of the history of our Country, thus forming a vast memorial archive of the Risorgimento’

Sounded boring so we didn’t go in.
The Renoir sign captured our interest though
so you might want to check it out.

Military Guards at tomb of Unknown Soldier Rome Italy

Guards in military dress protect the symbolic tomb of The Unknown Soldier.
It is located at the base of Il Vittoriano
(that’s why this structure ROCKS
- it has a wide variety of things to see
and most of it is free,
a bargain for frugal travelers)

Piazza de Venezia, Rome, Italy

Piazza de Venezia

Traffic snarling in the busy Piazza.
Via Corso, one of Rome’s major streets, exits from it
which does not help the situation.
