Day 5: last day in Rome. This morning we started out by passing some ruins which served as a cat sanctuary (adorable) on our way to see the Pantheon. - After that we went to Piazza Navona and saw the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi before splitting off into our own separate adventures. - I wandered around the plaza and into a baroque church called Sant'Agnese in Agone, and then meandered around until I found a nice little café in the shade to sit and eat lunch. - This afternoon, we were fortunate enough (thanks to @adrianrduranphd) to be able to see the studio of an incredible Art Historian who's lived in Rome since 1959. He shared a few of his many maps from different points in history and his exhibition of prints from a point in time when Rome was isolated from the rest of a newly united Italy. It was so amazing to be let in on a sliver of the wisdom of such a knowledgeable scholar. It really allowed me to stitch together all the experiences I've had over the past few days. - Tomorrow we set out for Orvieto in the morning, where we'll spend some time before arriving in Florence tomorrow evening. I'm sad to leave, but so excited for what's to come. 😊💠🇮🇹☀ . . . . . . #italy #rome #artistabroad #artistsoninstagram #artinitaly #architecture #unoitaly18 #unoitaly2018 #unocfam #unocfamily #unomaha #schoolofthearts #unoitaly2018 #knowtheo (at Rome, Italy)

I didnr post yesterday (due to exhaustion) but here's Rome Day 2! It was a long, sweaty, hot, day, but we saw some amazing shit, and it ended with some refreshing beer and prosecco. Highlights for me were the Palatine Hill, the Capataline Wolf, and some gorgeous Greek vases (which I couldn't get good pictures of because glass). . . . . . #italy #rome #artistabroad #artistsoninstagram #artinitaly #architecture #architecturaldecay #unoitaly2018 #unocfam #unocfamily #unomaha #schoolofthearts #unoitaly2018 #knowtheo (at Rome, Italy)
