Art of Renovation-UPDATED April 16 Easter Sunday by icunme
Renovate, refurbish, retrofit, reconstruct, repair, re-decorate - a staple of life in Rome and most high-maintenance cities of the world. Leave it to Romans to add a dimension of art to the procedure. Note that the scaffolding itself is adorned with an artwork - far be it from proud and vain Roma to powder her nose in public - let alone expose a face-lift in process!
OK - Piazza Spagna is back and with her cosmetic surgery all in place around Bernini's fountain - just in time for Festa della Primavera (Spring Festival) - in April, the Spanish Steps are decorated with azalea plants and concerts are held in Trinita dei Monti.
Now, the obelisk in Piazza Popolo is cloaked as per photo. More detail about this obelisk

Will update this page as I see changes in the making.................
