Back From Italy And It Was Amazing!!!!

Our first day, September 23rd, in Italy we stayed at -Palazzo al Velabro recommended by Canadian friends. It over looks the Arch of Janus

 (built in the early 4th century possibly in honor
or Constantine or Constantine II and has 4 fronts and 4 arches)








 and the Temple of Vesta, in Palatine Hill.

(Also part of the Roman Forum this was dedicated to Vesta, the goddess of the household hearth)

Inside our Palazzo:

This floor lamp changed colors inside of the glass

 The computer area

Loved this duck lamp that I first saw at High Point Market a while ago.

Steps up from the lobby a wonderful sitting area

By the front door- you can get a glimpse of what is out side

In the lobby- love the sofa for it's style
