First designed in 1517 for the Farnese family, the structure was altered when Alessandro Farnese became Pope in 1534, to designs by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger. Its building history involved some of the most prominent Italian architects of the 16th century, including Michelangelo, Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola, and Giacomo della Porta.
Blue suit and jeans at the last photo made me a bit nervous. I tried to use "zoom")).
ReplyDeleteCiao, bella!
Piazza Farnese, always a delight!
ReplyDeleteLovely. The tchotchke sold in the touristy piazzas keep me out of them, and shopping for food only works if you have a nearby apartment. This is nice. I'll remember Piazza Farnese.
ReplyDeletePerfect for people watching.
ReplyDeleteNow you're really pulling at my nostalgia cords. Lived just a few blocks away…
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL.......smiles.
ReplyDeleteLove this piazza. The roman bathtub fountains are a revelation. Now if only I could get into the French embassy to see the Carracci frescoes.

ReplyDeleteThat last photo is an amazing capture. This is my first visit to your blog, but I'll be back for more of these great shots!
ReplyDeletePiù di vent'anni fa, partendo da Vicolo delle grotte, volevo andare a prendere la macchina lasciata proprio in quella piazza la sera prima. Era piena di macchina. Ma quella mattina...tutta vuota! Che spavento. l'ho recuperato, però quando leggo 'piazza Farnese', ancora quello è il mio ricordo. Mi dispiace, ma preferisco gl'agretti che una volta vendevano a Campo dei fiori. Non li ho mai più trovati fuori dal Italia.
