You must have lots of gelato....

You must have lots of gelato. It is sold everywhere, but my favourte is
San Crispino; there is one near the fountain. It is a very tiny narrow shop, but I tell
you it is the best.
There are many flavours, the ones I like are nut based - pistachio, hazelnut, but I
find that Italians make the best fruit flavour ones as well. So original!!!!
Another one I went to is a walk from the Pantheon at some road with a name Magdalena. They have so many flavours it is mind boggling. The fruit flavours there are also
good but cannot rival San Crispino.
S. Gregario Magno

A mere two minutes from the forum is possibly the most peaceful spot in Rome: the Monastery of San Gregorio Magno. We had no idea this place even existed, but we decided to explore a bit and see what it was like inside. The interiors of the few buildings here were nothing special, but the setting in a beautiful herb and flower garden made the detour extremely worthwhile. There were also some interesting architectural details in the flattened columns (see photo). Be sure to visit the smaller chapels a bit further into the site.
To get here: from the Colosseum, simply head away from the city center down Via Di S. Gregorio and look for a bucolic church and garden on your left. It looks like you can't get in, but go a little further and you will see the entrace up the small hill.

The start of all
by IIGUANA
Piazza Venezia is the best place to start any tour around Rome.
The central point of this piazza is definately the monument to Vittorio Emanuelle II, which can be seen almost everywhere from Rome.
The most important avenues converge to this piazza: Via del Corso, Via Quattro Novembre, Via del Plebiscito and Via dei Fiori Imperiali, which goes along the roman forum until the Coliseum.
The Palazio Venezia next to the square was constructed in 1455 by LEon BAttista Alberti by orders of cardenal Pietro Barbo, who was later Pope Paul II. It's been considered one of the first Renaisance constructions. It is now a museum which has important medieval and Reinasance paintings and sculptures by Bellini, Gozzolo, Sansovino, Alemanno, Reni and Giorgione.
