Rome - Aug 2008

.
With almost half of the city's population away enjoying their own vacations, August can
be a good time to visit Rome if you want to miss the queues - and don't mind the heat..
.
.
A limited tour of some floors in Palazzo Braschi: 'Nostoi' - stolen artworks, recovered
by the police and on display in Palazzo Poli; unusual views from there of the Trevi Fountain;
an exhibition of mechanical models based on drawings by Leonardo da Vinci.
.
Pictures from 2008, but slightly jumbled!
