At the beginning of the year I spent one week around Italy together with Benny. We visited Roma, Pisa and Firenze.
ROMA I had booked a cheap, but nice accomodation near the
railways station of Roma-Termini. The view from the terrace was cool (1).

After one day of relax, the second day we visited the Ancient part of the city: Fori Imperiali (3) and Colosseo (4).
(3)
Then just beside there is Piazza Venezia with the massive monument of Vittoriano (5) and Palazzo Venezia (6), where the dux Benito Mussolini used to give the speeches!

In the afternoon we went to see Fontana di Trevi (7) and just before the dusk Piazza di Spagna (8), crowded of people.

The day after we left Roma and by train we arrived in Firenze, just the time to leave the luggages in the hotel and we took the train again to spend the afternoon in Pisa. PISA We went downtown crossing the river Arno (14), and after ten minutes walking we found Torre di Pisa, and we took artistic (15) and original (16) pictures!!

FIRENZE We spent our last day of the holiday for the see-sight of Firenze. Starting with the church Santa Maria Novella (18), we had a walk in the old part of the city, that is the city centre. The streets and the buildings (19) are picturesque.

We discover the cathedral S.Maria del Fiore, with the
baptistry and the Tower of Giotto
(20). Then we went in Piazza della Signoria
(21), where there is Palazzo Vecchio and beside Uffizi Gallery: we admired great
paintings by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Raffaello, Giotto, Tintoretto,
etc.
