@SaveRome Livia Augusta, what a character! the perfect wife of the great gambler Augustus.... But poor Germanicus, not lucky to have such a
grand-mother... ;)

@DariusAryaDigs Stone Castle (Castello della Pietra) in Liguria, near Genoa. Place of my childhood.

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@DariusAryaDigs @SaveRome Thank you!
Last summer was closed, as Celio's romam houses. I read that houses are still closed... I'll visit it at least

@DariusAryaDigs Farnese's Palace: one of the hidden treasures of Italy. Thanks Darius.
I'll be there again soon.

@bnjd18 @SaveRome The substructures of so-called Tabularium, above which was built Palazzo Senatorio in Campidoglio.

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@SaveRome @MANNapoli Really, really high quality.

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@DariusAryaDigs @SaveRome Tacitus too, who certanly despised Nero, couldn't avoid to admit his extranity in that event. The subtext of the Annales' parts dedicated to this are clear.

@SaveRome Argentina.. Sorry

@SaveRome Area Sacra in Argenitina's Square

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@showclassicrock Never have i seen such a cover-band like yours. Amazing!
Up the irons.

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@DariusAryaDigs @Moscerina Amazing
I can't imagine how felt the Renaissance artists, when they discovered the Place first and then, such inspired, invented "grottesche"

@SaveRome "Tu Marcellus eris" (sic!)

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@DariusAryaDigs @carolemadge @SaveRome Prosit tibi cervesia!

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@SaveRome Beautiful mosaic.
Muses inspired him. Muses political envolved, however😅.

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@DariusAryaDigs @SaveRome Thank you Darius.

@DariusAryaDigs Commercial motivations often..
The important art-historian T.Montanari always criticizes these options and for that he is acidly attacked as a conservative.
O tempora o mores..

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@DariusAryaDigs In Italy happens.Some important museums/galleries use to walk this way. It's a possible idea to elaborate a dialogue between different works. But a wise dialogue!! Rarely happens. In this case there isn't dialogue at all. It's a lack of respect both to works and to visitors.

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@SaveRome Not easy... Both did something good and both did much wrong for res publica (lato sensu). I choose Nero for his first 5 years of reign ("quinquennium felix") and for monetary reform. Caligula's decline was too fast.

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@DariusAryaDigs @SaveRome Peccato davvero.

[matteo grasso @matteograsso4]

@DariusAryaDigs @SaveRome I spent 5 hours in Palazzo Massimo last year. But i would remain there more..
Speechless: from the Boxer at rest to Livia's garden, from the amazing mosaics to inner house decoration.
Una semplicità e sicurezza del tratto sconvolgenti e commoventi
