Piazza Colonna

There is a long road in Rome, connecting Piazza del Popolo to Piazza Venezia. It is Via del Corso, or more commonly, the Corso.

This is the heaven for tourist wanting to have some shopping. A few Romans there except on Saturday.

Along Via del Corso there is a beautiful square, called Piazza Colonna.

The obelisk in the middle is not roman, anyway, but stolen somewhere in the empire.

Another beautiful obelisk close to Caracalla, in front of the FAO Headquarters. It's been hit by a thunder this winter and heavily damaged.

S. Carlo al Corso church ceiling

The interior of this church is beautiful and very bright for its colors. It doesn't look like much from the outside on the street via corso, but I do suggest you go inside and look around. Of all the cathedrals and churches I went into in Rome, this one was the most beautiful actually.

On a budget? If you're not up to lunching at one of the sidewalk cafes, you can buy a panini at one of the delis near the Trevi fountain and sprawl down (well, sit if you must)at the Piazza Colloneo, which features the Column of Marcus Aurelius. Have no fear...you'll be in good company.
