Rome is a pretty intense city. As soon as i stepped off the train, it felt more different than any of the other places we had visited. I had mentioned before that Florence felt like a cleaner safer version of Guadalajara, well Rome feels just like Guadalajara. Its fast paced, event filled, and there are always people everywhere.
We are staying right next to the Piazza Popolo where Santa Maria del Popolo is located...that houses two Caravaggios. Again, we are staying at Silvio Benedetto's Studio in Rome, he is the artist from Argentina that we met earlier in the trip. his website is : http://www.silviobenedetto.com . He is a pretty amazing guy with an even more amazing, creepy, quirky home. His home is definitely an artist residence and it is like a small museum, we have been drawing inside there for the past three days...
Yesterday we went to the Galleria Borghese and today to the Vatican. I have been slammed with art these past days...some of the highlights were: Caravaggio, Corregio, Da Vinci, Bernini, Bacon, Orozco, and of course that Sistine Chapel.
Tomorrow we go to see ruins with more stories to come...
Ciao
