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.

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.

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.

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.
