We finally (!) received our student museum cards from the Fulbright on Friday, so Katie and I decided to hit up the Palazzo Altemps that afternoon (these cards get us into many museums for free). The next day we visited the Villa Farnesina.
The courtyard at Palazzo Altemps
The Ludovisi Battle Sarcophagus, 3rd century AD
A-mah-zing
The Suicidal Gaul, 2nd century AD
Obviously we decided to reenact the drama
Beautifully preserved frescoes in an outdoor hall
St Thomas of Villanova by Melichiore Caffa, 1663. It is sooooo baroque, in the way that the figures are placed outside of the niche.
No pictures allowed inside unfortunately :(

We popped inside S'Agostino after the palazzo.

The next morning, at the Villa Farnesina.
