...Navona, this market boasts a range of fresh goods for sale. Fish, Fruit, Vegetables, Meat, Flowers, everything looks of good quality and very tempting, espcially the fruit.
It also doubles up as something else very traditional for this historical city. Come the afternoons and political speakers spout forth below the statue of a philospher, Giordano Bruno. (He was a monk who was burned alive in the 15th century during the Inquisition, for the forehead-slappingly stupid idea that the earth existed within an infinite universe, with many more galaxies than just ours. I mean. Kuh! How dumb is that...). As long as you are fluent in passionate Italian, then I'm sure it makes for interesting listening.
Anyway, this little treasure can be found off the Corso Vittorio, and is but a short stroll from the River Tiber, the Pantheon, and the Palazzo...

...are dedicated to Alessandro and Ranuccio Farnese, one of the families who governed Piacenza.
PALAZZOFARNESE (The Farneses’ Palace)
It had to be the residence of The Farneses, but its building began at the half of the XVIth century and it never ended, because almost after two centuries The Farneses became extint and the palace was left partly incomplete at its inside.
It’s now the seat of the municipal museum, of a coaches museum and of an art gallery.
PALAZZO DEL GOVERNATORE (The Governor’s Palace)
Situated opposite of the Gothic Palace, it was built in the XVIIIth century and was the seat of the various Governors’ offices. Nowadays it’s the seat of the local Chamber of Commerce and of an important national bank.
Besides these monuments in Piacenza you can find a lot of other very interesting ancient churches...

...The Museo Nazionale Romano has recently (in the past year) relocated to Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, which is situated in Piazza Cinquecento, very close to the Termini main rail station. It is hard to do everything in Rome, and it isn't usually the first Museum that springs to mind, I'd place it behind the Vatican Museums and the Capitoline Museums, but that still makes it an incredible place!
The building, for a start, is impressive. Unlike the better known, aforementioned museums, the Nazionale Romano, because it relocated recently, has had more of a chance to order its layout.
It costs 12000L to get in, (about £4), and it is possible to hire an audioguide. This 12000L includes a timed guided tour to the top floor (the top floor is actually the second floor, not the first floor as stated on the ticket and got me remarkably...
