From our wonderful hotel, Rome Style (near the Spanish Steps) we strolled along Via del Bubuino popping in dozens of churches (to view free amazing art) and enjoy delightful shopping, both high-end world renowned designers and small interesting shops. Lots of places to enjoy coffee or a bite to eat ending at Piazza del Popolo. There are four churches on this piazza. The church in the 2:00 quadrant, Santa Maria del Popolo, has two fantastic Caravaggio paintings ... more spectacular art for free in Rome!! An amazing stroll and day.

The Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo is a place not to be missed due to its location on the magnificent Piazza del Popolo and also due of the huge works of art of high value that are present there. The church comes from a small chapel from the 11th century, built at the expense of the Roman people, from which the name comes. Then it was completely rebuilt in the 15th century . In the mid-seventeenth century, Gianlorenzo Bernini gave it a distinct Baroque impression. The interior has the shape of a basilica with three naves, a transept and a semicircular apse, with four side chapels on each side and two important chapels on the left side of the main altar. Inside the church you can find a lot of works of art, primarily at the Cerasi Chapel the works of two fundamental painters of contemporary artistic history, Annibale Caracci with the painting of the altar of the "Assumption of the Virgin", and on the sides two wonderful paintings of Caravaggio, "Crucifixion of Saint Peter" and "Conversion of Saint Paul ". It is such a beautiful church. Definitely worth a visit.

My most favorite park in Rome, the view is stunning over the city, also the view to Piazza del Popolo is wonderful; so much banch to have a sit under palms, nice fountains; the Villa Borghese is accessible from this vast expansif Pincio Gardens; plenty of attractions; you can rent bikes or a riscio, operated with a mixture of pedal or an electrical power and that make for a very relaxed tour to see all the park; I find it also very relaxing on a banch, in the sunshine of Rome and see waching people, children playing; ideal also for a nice picnic; you will never feel bored ; or it's great to observe inspection from the police, riding on white horses, with posh elegance.

What a gorgeous ornate Baroque treasure on the busiest street in Rome! Simple facade designed by Carlo Rinaldi does not prepare a visitor to the opulence and luxury of the interior nave marble decorations. The colors of dark blue and terra-cotta marble gracefully blend with abundance of statues, elaborate stucco reliefs and paintings. I am very happy that I stumbled upon this magnificent Baroque treasure.

The Basilica known also as an Carlo al Corso is located on the famous shopping street Via del Corso and is being easily ignore due hectic shopping. Additionally it is integrated to other buildings, so might easily ignore it, plenty of people sitting on its stairs. The church is dedicated to Saint Ambrose and Saint Charles Borromeo, whose canonization gave starting point for constructions 1610. It is very beautiful from inside and has plenty of decorations to admire. Of course during a hot day, it offers cool break. Summary: highly recommend.

Found the shop fairly easily, down a side street in a nice part of town. I wanted an individual souvenir and the very friendly owner made us a small marble sign saying “the house of the dogs” in Italian within the hour for 15 euro and we are very pleased with it!

What a stunning church this is on the Via Del Corso, near to the Piazza Del Popolo. There are marvellous paintings and sculptures inside and the ceiling is spectacular although apparently a little controversial after reading a brief history of the church posted just inside the door.

Always a pleasure to stroll along fashionable Via Condotti and especially during Christmas time. The window displays were so elegant and harmonious, no redundancy, no overwhelming red and green colors... perfetto!???? I was happy to see my old favorites, like Prada, Salvatore Ferragamo, Furla, Burberry, etc., as well as discover some designers whom I did not know, like stunning Alberta Ferretti.
