Museum of the Day report. Today we went to the Napoleonic Museum, one of the few in Rome with free admission. Very lovely small museum with many artifacts owned by Napoleon or his family or depicting him and his family. Furniture, candelabras, clocks, swords and paintings were among the larger pieces. Many beautiful miniature paintings and cameos as well as jewelry owned by the Bonaparte women. It is a sweet little museum and well worth a visit and it is across the Tiber, caddy corner to Castel Sant’Angelo where we were yesterday.
We got a late start as we were waiting for the weather to clear, it was a rainy and chilly day. After the museum, we again walked up Antique Row and saw a few more shops that were open today. Came home for a bit then went out for a late lunch/early supper. I had eggplant Parmesan and Andy had broccoli Rabe and sausage lasagna. Both were excellent. We brought home some of their wonderful bread to have with split pea soup tomorrow night. Everyday the little restaurant around the corner makes a different type of small bread rolls. Last week we got Rosemary and anchovy rolls and today they were tomato and onion. So good dipped in olive oil!
It’s a good thing we walk so much with all the good food we are eating!
Tomorrow we are going to the Jewish Ghetto. Will report on that domani.
Sweet Dreams!
