Rome - December 28, 2011 - Palazzo Barberini

Palazzo Barberini

Built in the mid 17th century and currently housing the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, the Palazzo Barberini impresses one from the street , and I am sure the collection of paintings impresses from the inside.

However we were on a mission, and our mission would soon be accomplished. I did have to stop for a moment and gape open mouthed like some sort of moonshine laden hillbilly because of the fence. Which in and of itself is a work of art.

Judge for yourselves...
