The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of the use of colored marble from its origins to the 20th century, drawing on selections from the Santarelli Foundation's collection. Over 660 precious Imperial-era colored marbles from the Capitoline Collection and the Dino and Ernesta Santarelli Foundation are on display in two halls of the Capitoline Museums' Palazzo Clementino, next to the Medal Gallery. The exhibition, on free loan for ten years, offers visitors a glimpse into the vast quantities of stone imported into Rome: a unique opportunity to trace the millennia of the city's history through shapes, colors, and patterns, from artistic, sociocultural, political, and economic perspectives. Indeed, the use of colored marble is a defining characteristic of Roman architecture during the Imperial era.

Getting tickets on your own, even through the official Colosseum website, can be quite a battle, so we opted to buy from a third-party provider instead. The price was definitely on the higher side, but considering how difficult it is to secure tickets independently, it felt justified.We arrived one hour early to make sure there were no issues with entry at the scheduled time. The ticket confirmation only comes through 24 hours before your visit, which can be a bit nerve-wracking. However, based on my experience, once you&#39;ve successfully made the purchase, you&#39;re essentially guaranteed entry.The Colosseum itself is absolutely worth visiting. Standing inside such a historic monument is surreal, and the atmosphere is unforgettable. So even with the added cost from a third-party seller, the experience makes it all worthwhile.

Pantheon

Everyone has to visit the Pantheon in their lifetime. I am in shock that something so magnificent could be built in 126 AD and remain is such remarkable condition. The exterior is incredibly imposing with grand columns holding up the structure. The interior consists of a single perfectly symmetrical circular space with an enormous dome. There are beautiful columns, sculptures, and paintings everywhere. It was originally a Pagan temple and symbol of Rome&rsquo;s power, but became a church that is in use to this day. There is a huge high alter near the front, built in the early 18th century. All the pagan statues and artwork were removed and replaced with ones honoring to Christianity. Everything in this building is perfectly symmetrical with three sets of columns on each side flanked with artwork in the middle. Every bit of architecture from the floor to the ceiling is so intricate. The marble floor is from three different countries. The red is from Egypt, the white is from Asia Minor.

As soon as I approached the scenic spot, I was attracted by the angel sculptures on both sides of the bridge. When entering Castel Sant&#39;Angelo, you must go to the top to have a look, where you can overlook many ancient monuments on the other side of the river, including a corner of the Colosseum. In addition, the sandwiches at the Central Cafe are good and cheap, but you have to sit there to eat. If the sun is strong, it will be too hot and there is basically no shade.

Haha, we missed the time perfectly. Everyone, please pay attention to the reserved date. It also gives me a good excuse to go to Rome again. The pictures were taken at the nearby Piazza del Popolo. There weren&#39;t too many people there, so we could go shopping together.

Villa Borghese

This villa is located in the Bogcai Garden, which is more like an entertainment park with many entertainment projects. The villa is well preserved and has a good view from its small hillside.
