After all, it's not a big deal. Queuing is sometimes interesting, especially when you're surrounded by
tourists, entertaining you with amusing considerations about the city you live in.
The museum stands right in front of The Palazzo del Quirinale, the residence of the President of the Italian Republic.
It is a beautiful building dating back to the XVIII century, that stands on the remains of the great roman temple of Serapis. Formerly hosting the papal stables, today it can count on 1500 square meters of exhibition area.
Located at the top of one of the seven hills of Rome (Colle del Quirinale, the highest), the museum has a large window glass, designed by the renowned architect Gae Aulenti. From there, the view of the eternal city is absolutely breathtaking (despite these photos of mine :-).
After the visit (if you're in Rome do NOT miss it!!! The exhibition is of GREAT interest), we turned left in Via del Quirinale and then right in Via delle Quattro Fontane. A stop at the intersection of these streets is unavoidable as to admire the Four Fountains, that were installed there between 1588 and 1593. They represent the rivers Tiber and Arno and the goddesses Diana and Juno.
We walked down the street till Piazza Barberini, at the center of which stands the Triton fountain sculpted by Bernini between 1642 and 1643,
and we reached Via Veneto at the opposite side of the square. But before passing by the American Embassy as to reach our car,
we entered an overcrowded Hard Rock Café for some fajitas and a Club sandwich.
Can this place be considered a sort of "museum" of the XX century?

Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would

Thanks for all your nice comments, to which I finally come to answer.
The blog design is just one of the various design possibilities offered by blogspot , while the themes are definitely all a personal initiative of mine, according to my interests and...the amount of free time I have -unfortunately not as much as I would like- to sneak in the innumerable offers of events going on in Rome.
Hope you enjoy! Ciao :)
