Do the statues talk, yes if in Rome
by croisbeauty
There are four of five so-called talking statues in Rome, but I've find this one only. Locals use them for various motiffs today, someone to attached his thesis, the others to present their poems or novels, while some to complain about problems they faced living in the city of Rome. I was in particularly attracted by this graphities, which are aimed against Vatican and some priests who have been discovered as a pedofils. There was big scandals recently in Italy about that issue.
Head Off To the Castelli Romani For A Nice Weekend
by Krystynn
The Castelli Romani (Roman Hills) region - located just 40KM away from bustling Rome - is famed for its production of wine and local cuisine. This region also boasts of many interesting castles and villas from Villas Torlonia, Falconieri and Aldobrandini to the Castle of Santa Severa and Castello Odescalchi di Bracciano - which I'll be introducing to you very shortly.
We were there for a weekend of fun at our company's private dinner.
The Venue?
The Castello Odescalchi di Bracciano, one of the most beautiful medieval castles in Europe. Built sometime in the 2nd half of the 1400's, the castle is located in the little town of Bracciano and overlooks the volcanic lake of Bracciano.
Here's the full address of the Castle:
Odescalchi Castle
Piazza Mazzini, 14 - 00062
Bracciano (Italy)

Decent "Tourist" Restaurant
by rattay about Steak House
This restaurant is geared towards American tourists in case you couldn't guess by the name of it. The only reason I recommend it is for the view the upstairs terrace has of the Colosseum at night. I heard the steak is quite good too (I'm a vegetarian and I was relatively happy with the non-steak meals there). Like I said, I don't eat meat, but my friends really did like the steak. I liked the cheesy/romantic view.
