GOOSE

Today we took a brief break from the old rome and say the new rome. the name is Renzo Piano, and the project is Cita Della Musica. it was pretty cool, i'm not going to lie. Renzo is one of the most famous italian architects of our times, one can say that i'm a fan. The project is a center for music which holds three auditoriums and one outdoor performance space. the overall feeling for this particular project is positive although there are a few things that bothered me, but thats another discussion.

right after lunch a group of us dicided to take a trip to the Galleria Nazionale D'arte Morderna, a contemporary art museum located deep within the main park in rome (parque burghesse, i think). it was somewhat small, so it was short and sweet. afterwards we headed to the famous chiesa della imaccolata consezione (bone crypt of the cappucin monks). man, that was creepy. it turns out that back about 300 years ago these dudes decided to oarnament the crypt of this church only using human bones! got to see it to believe it. they didn't let us take pics of the place but above is a one that i managed to take when nobody was looking. we then headed to the church located the corner of the four fountains (quattro fontane) by Boromini. pretty damn good let me say. i think i liked the basement of the thing more than the actual church. towards the end of the night we visited the spanish steps and the Trevi fountain. the were both amazing. at night we went to a Hooka Bar, great place to end the night. amazing day again. Ciao!
