Seeing art in Roma


Today I saw an exhibit on Albrecht Durer, at the Quirinale Palace. It was unbelievable. There were about 10 rooms total, and in each room, there were maybe 15 or 20 people. All the art was placed at eye level, and you could literally get close enough so that your nose was practically touching. So I was nose level from these amazing Durer prints and paintings, along with DaVincis, Carravagios, Raphaels and more. If this was an exhibit at the Met, there would be lines around the block. Made an otherwise good day even more worthwhile. Plus, great pizza for dinner.
Buonna notte!!!
