Beautiful Rome

The "newer" sites in Rome aren't too shabby either.  Fountains, statues, frescoes and domed buildings abound in this beautiful city.  Everything is exhuberantly ornamented, like this detail from the Trevi Fountain:

Rome is now the home of 8 obelisks that armies removed from Egypt long ago.  I think that we saw at least 5 of them, like the one centered in the Piazza Popolo located at the base of the Villa Borghese gardens.

 

We also got to witness a changing of the guard at Italy's tomb of the unknown soldier, located at Capitoline Hill.

Beautiful!
