rome rome rome!

Enjoying my reclaimed love for Architectural Digest this morning, and AD travels this month to ROME. Rome is one of my favorite cities and fondest memories (you can't beat a birthday wish at the Trevi Fountain).  Interesting article on newly restored sights and a flourishing art scene, both ancient and contemporary.  Makes me want to revisit this city soon... andiamo!

The MACRO Contemporary Art Museum

MAXXI Art Museum by Zaha Hadid

the recently reopened Palazzo Barberini
