    I just came here from Brattcat's Brattleboro (Vermont) Daily Photo where I left a comment about the juxtaposition in her photo today.

    Your photo certain shows the contrast between classic architecture and mid 20th Century architecture that we would rather forget.

    Indeed an interesting juxtaposition - there must be a lot in Rome? Have a nice weekend.

    Yes, an interesting juxtaposition of old and new. I think I like the old much better in this case.

    Excellent contrast! I wonder what palace is that, the green modern one.
