CASTEL S. ANGELO – ROMA

Today, a beautiful cold sunny day ….
a nice walk will open your heart …

Right on the promenade leading from the “Palazzaccio”, the Palace of Justice in Rome, to the Basilica of St. Peter.

It ‘a pedestrian area, very pleasant, overlooking the Tiber and the statues of the “Angels” of the Bridge Sant’Angelo, will accompany you in front of the entrance to Castel S. Angelo.

This monument is home to the National Museum, Archaeological site, fortress and prison, but also a Papal residence, rich in artistic episodes of great importance.

I suggest, indeed, a visit …

Opening :
From Tuesday to Sunday – 9.00 – 19.30
Ticket price: 10,50 Euros

 

 

Soul and Love at Castel Sant’Angelo.

Spring is romantic … so what ’is better than spending a beautiful morning to visit an exhibition about love?

In the splendid setting of Castel Sant’Angelo, in fact, held an exhibition dedicated to the ”Tale of Cupid and Psyche”: one hundred works dedicated to the love story between the beautiful mortal Psyche and Eros(Cupid), the immortal God (Fable of Apuleius, a writer and philosopher of the second century AD).

In the end, this is the moral of the story: the soul, Psyche, can become immortal  only by love, Eros.

Beautiful journey through history, from ancient Egyptian period to  Roman period,visiting the sixteenth through the eighteenth century, the neoclassical period and the Baroque!

AMORE E PSICHE – CASTEL SANT’ANGELO

Shabby chic gift!

Invitation to dinner?
If you has an invitation to dinner at home of  Italian people, I assure you that a bunch of flowers or a bottle of wine are more than welcome!

But, if you are friends, then you can also think of an object for the landlady …

So, here’s a cool address, in the PRATI district, a short walk from Castel Sant’Angelo.

Between design objects and shabby chic, you might really find a cute gift!

My last purchase was a black rattan basket with applications of red berries of wood…;D
