“From the dome of St. Peter’s one can see every notable object in Rome, from the Castle of St. Angelo to the Coliseum. He can discern the seven hills upon which Rome is built. He can see the Tiber…the broad green Campagna, stretching away toward the mountains, with its scattered arches and broken aqueducts of the olden time, so picturesque in their gray ruin, and so daintily festooned with vines…He can see a panorama that is varied, extensive, beautiful to the eye, and more illustrious in history than any other in Europe.” Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad (1869) Learn more about Rome in "All Roads Lead to #Rome: 17th–19th Century Architectural Souvenirs from the Collection of #Piraneseum", on display, pre-security, in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/AllRoadsRome This image was posted on July 11, 2017.
