    I really enjoyed this church. It was historically important and held many wonderful pieces of art. It's also quite large and takes a few hours to fully see.

    Great place to see the sculptured images of Romans. We visited here after having been to the colosseum / Palatine Hill / Roman Forum so this was a very appropriate follow on from that experience. You could imagine these people attending the games. Give yourself 2 hours for the visit. Lovely cafe / restaurant on site also.

    It was amazing to see how Michelangelo managed to repurpose the ruins of a decaying Roman bath house into a richly decorated catholic church. It is located near the Termini train station on the Republic' square with the fountain of the Naiads in the middle.

    This was one of the prettiest churches we visited. It's greatest piece of art is Benini's Ecstasy of St. Teresa, a wonderful white marble.

    Termini is a major rail station connecting Rome to other major cities around the country with numerous arrivals and departures providing extensive travel options for those seeking rail travel to/from the city. The station is connected to the city centre by local buses, Metro (A & B Line) and taxis. Or just walk to your hotel if staying in the Termini area. There are cheap bus options to the airport to/from Termini as well.

    You can purchase rail tickets online, through mobile app, at self-use ticketing machines or manned ticket counter within the station. Train platforms are located past glassed in barrier. Scan or show tickets and you can enter to await trains directly on respective platforms. You'll find a few cafes, food outlets and retail shops. We waited outbound rail journey recently at the recently opened Eataly upstairs place.

    This was an excellent experience wtih the exhibit on Dacia, and the various other National Museum artifcats and exhibits. Our one drawback is that the directions on how to visit the baths were really poorly marked and not easy to follow, unlike the much-better marked Baths of Caracalla which we visited the day after. For one thing, they don’t make it clear where you are at any given time as you walk around the ruins. You see the pool with a sign saying “Frigidarium” with an arrow, but where? We recognized that Michelangelo was instructed to build a church in the middle of the baths, but what they don’t make clear is that is NOT PART of the ticket. We found out after our visit that you can see the excellent remains of other parts of the baths by visiting (for FREE) the adjoining Basilica of Santa Maris dell Angeli, which is what Michelangelo was responsible for…so we’re going over there tomorrow to see that. You really shouldn’t do one without the otherm, but that doesn’t seem to pop up anywhere.

    This is a direct airport express train between Fiumicino Airport and Termini Station in Rome. Departures start fairly early in the. morning and run until around midnight with service every 15 minutes in both directions. Check website for updated schedule. The ride is 32 minutes, quite a lot of space for luggage onboard and normal seating.

    Ride cost is Є14 per person (one-way). It is a bit expensive for the distance so if you have three or more people you can do just as well taking a taxi to the city centre - fixed cost Є50 from Fiumicino. Airport buses are even cheaper but can take quite a bit longer to get into the city.

    Easy to get to as Termini station is part of the area, a very multicultural area, with every variety of restaurant you can think of. It is fun just to walk about the streets taking it all in, visiting the many churches, squares, road side markets and attractions listed on TA.

    We were walking from Via Nazionale to the historic center of Rome when we stopped at this beautiful fountain to refresh ourselves. Rome is full of potable fountains and this one was just perfect for us on a hot summer day. We drank, filled our bottles and washed our head and faces. Beside being a source of water the architecture of this fountain is phenomenal. Arches, Angels etc... Just beautiful.

    The works for the construction of the church began in 1870 by the will of Pope Pius IX but the events of that year (namely the end of the Papal Kingdom and the annexation of Rome to the Kingdom of Italy) blocked them.
    Only for the help, support and pressure by St. John Bosco in 1879 the works were resumed by the architect Francesco Vespignani and therefore Pope Leo XIII entrusted the new church to Don Bosco and to the order he had founded, the Salesians.
    The consecration of the church took place in 1887 and it was St. John Bosco himself who celebrated the first Mass there on May 16.
    The initial project was modified, the church was lengthened by 30 meters.
    The neo-Renaissance façade is in travertine and is surmounted by a bell tower on which rests the statue of the Redeemer in gilded copper.
    The interior, with three naves with granite columns and a transept with a dome, is completely covered with marble, stucco, gilding and paintings: Virginio Monti is the author of the paintings in the carved wooden ceilings, in the dome and in the cupolas while Cesare Caroselli painted the pendentives, arches and walls.
    The three main altars are composed of seventeenth-century elements from demolished churches.
    A few meters from Termini Station, it is a beautiful church, an evocative place, with its very high bell tower visible from all corners of the Piazza dei Cinquecento, and full of great spirituality and mysticism.

    The Ambra Jovinelli is a historic theater in Rome with a beautiful Art Nouveau design - a unique case in the capital - whose shape suddenly emerges to the visitors' eyes from the busy and rather battered Via Giolitti.
    Apart from the program, the theater is welcoming and inviting, and due to the fact that now the square has been reserved to pedestrians only, you can find easily a place where you can have a quick bite before or after the show.
    It was originally one of the wooden booths "for theater use" that at the end of the nineteenth century stood on Piazza Guglielmo Pepe, in which various shows were programmed, from wizards to contortionists, from prestige games to shows with mustachioed women and fish-men, prestige games and then 'character sketches',
    vaudeville shows and theatrical adaptations of popular novels.
    It was built in 1909 and is located in the Esquilino district.
    The theater was built because the impresario Giuseppe Jovinelli wanted to build a theater that would host comedy and comic shows in the capital.
    Among the various actors who performed in the theater, it is important to remember the Italian actor and comedian Totò.
    But it wasn't always easy for the theater. During fascism, due to the limitations of the regime, it became a place of boxing matches.
    The furnishings are very accurate and well made...The acoustics are of a good standard.
    It is rather sad to say, however, that the area of Rome where it is located and its surroundings are quite shabby ..

    Porta Pinciana is a gate of the Aurelian Walls in Rome which dates back to the 5th century. It is located at the top of Via Veneto close to Villa Borghese. Worth seeing, especially if you are in the area.

    Piazza San Bernardo is small, but it is home to magnificent Chiesa Santa Maria della Vittoria with Bernini's masterpiece, Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, and two other interesting curches, Abbazia di San Bernardo Alle Terme di Diocleziano and Chiesa di Santa Susana. The Moses Fountain is also quite notable.
