On Thursday we had an easy day with no photos.
First we visited the Piazza Doria Pamphilj. That is an old palace with an amazing, though helter skelter, art collection. Pope Innocent X was a Pamphilj. He was Pope between 1644 and 1655. That is when the Pamphiljs made their money. As far as we could tell, it has been downhill ever since. They married into the Doria family in 1760.
For lunch we wandered about looking for a restaurant called the Ditirambo near the Campo di Fiori. We found it just before 1:00, and they don’t open until 1:00. So we wandered a bit more before returning for some great food. The place was full of loud French tourists, but the food was outstanding. Don’t order the gnocchi, though.
For dinner, we ate at Le Mascere, a place we have been before. (The very last photo on this page was taken at Le Maschere in 2000)
It was a nice day.
