Church of San Tommaso di Villanova
icunme Says: The church of San Tommaso di Villanova is right there in Piazza Liberta, just a short way from the Papal Palace and it is credited to Bernini. Well worth a visit inside. The church was built in 1659 and is one of the masterpieces of Gian-lorenzo Bernini, who just happens to...
GANDOLFO Via Saponara - candy for your camera

Pizzeria Napoli: Mozzarella di Bufala
