Palazzo di Giustizia, edible architecture? |
Here it was just a quick walk north a slight left (west) and boom goes the dynamite...or rather at the end of the street I saw a hideous white building of the confectionery school of architecture and knew just where we were.
Within a few moments we were right across the river from the Palazzo di Giustizia. Which really looks like someone has left a wedding cake out in the rain. Impressive? Yes. Enormous? Yes. Tasteful? Well maybe...maybe not. Grandiose certainly. After I had time to appreciate it I used the word "delectable" which I think covers it nicely.
Ponte Umberto I |
Creepy embankment |
In fact down here not a single person tried to sell us a wooden train, cheap plastic camera tripod, or pope soap on a rope.
The views of both the former tomb of Hadrian (now the Castel Sant' Angelo), Ponte Sant' Angelo and the Dome of St. Peter's were uninterrupted and ours for the taking!
