An important building built in 1929, Palazzo Merulana hosts a Museum of modern and contemporary art with collections of sculptures and painting works of the Roman school of 1900 including Giorgio De Chirico and Giacomo Balla. There are 4 exhibition floors, a terrasse at the ground floor and another terrasse at fifth floor, the latter it is probably not open to the public. The exhibitions which take place during the year are dedicated to contemporary art, photography and literature. The cafeteria located at the ground floor is a popular place for coffee and aperitif.

I very much like the smell of pastries and croissants fresh from the oven in the morning. I used to like better the mini croissants. This morning I could only find the large size croissants. Anyway they smell delicious.

Sublime atmosphere and magnificent architecture. A major catholic church completed in1667 to reunite the churches of Santa Maria in Campitelli and Santa Maria in Portico. A miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, Santa Maria in Portico, dating back from the XII century, is guarded in this Church. The church was built after the liberation of Rome from the terribile plague epidemic which ended in 1656. The church was built in a baroque style and it features several paintings of baroque painters
