Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

When our walking tour ended, we dispersed to different areas of the plaza, I took the opportunity to hurriedly view the fountains at each end before enjoying a snack. Al Sogno was the gathering point for return to our bus. My wife and I decided to quickly browse inside; just enchanting, the variety and quality of toys, puppets, fairies, dolls, masks and stuffed animals, the displays in both the interior and the windows. Just an amazing variety and the only toy-store visited outside Australia that had lifelike kangaroos and koalas featured. Staff friendly and welcoming even after we asked permission to browse.

The Museum of Rome was inaugurated in 1930 and was first located in the former Pantanella Pasta Factory near the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. In 1952 it was moved to the eighteenth century Palazzo Braschi, former seat of the Fascist Federation of Rome. The collections of the museum consist of 40,000 pieces that document the different moments of the life, work, and customs of the city of Rome from the Middle Ages up to our days. Sculptures and paintings, many of which representing feasts, ceremonies, and various historical events are exhibited, in addition to sixteenth century and Medieval mosaics, frescoes, and ceramics, discovered during the excavations and demolitions that affected the city.
This museum really shows how time Changed through the eyes of landscape paintings and portraits of wealthy families who lived and traveled here. I would highly suggest getting the audio guide to better understand the history and times behind each piece. Free the first Sunday of every month but you will have the wait in line for a bit but it is well worth it!

The exposition represents an itinerary through history going from the VII century B.C. to the IV century A.D. brought to life through the accurate reconstruction of helmets and armour of the Roman legions and gladiators, showing over a millenium of history through the most representative weaponry of Roman army and its enemies. Set on two floors, in the basement there is the chance to see and touch the autentique columns of the ancient Stadium of Domitian and to take photos into the gladiators’ prison.
Found this place by chance, absolutely brilliant. It's small but has loads in it and you can take as long as you want to examine the old armour and weapons, and the staff are friendly, informative, and very helpful. Really enjoyed the time spent there and would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in anything to do with gladiators :) I'll definitely be going back the next time I'm in Rome
