Today, we went to see the Museum of Rome. It is housed in an 18th century palace that backs up to Piazza Navone. It was a good museum day because it was raining. The museum was having a special showing of costumes from Italian film costume designers. They were beautiful! One particularly interesting display were several of the 22 costumes made for Audrey Hepburn in War and Peace. And the costumes made for The Leopard. The next floor of the museum had lovely furniture, tapestries, and paintings. It was a very nice museum. We went to a small church next door. The Church of St. Pantalone. Another lovely church with a smaller, more intimate feeling. Then we went to lunch. Andy had pasta with bacon and I had fried anchovies with a green pepper sauce to dip them in. Both very good. We stopped by a language school to see about classes and a grocery store and then hopped the bus for home. It rained all day and at one point…it was a gully washer as we say at home!
Good to get home and dry out. Tonight we are fixing Chicken with Peppers, Onions and Olives. A recipe from Joyce Mitchell. It should be great!
All for today….
