The Pantheon in Rome... [View all] CaliforniaPeggy Jun 2013 OP

If you make it over to Piazza Navonne there avebury Jun 2013 #1

Is that the Piazza that the Pantheon fronts onto? CaliforniaPeggy Jun 2013 #3

It is a Piazza that a lot of artists set up their works for sale. It is a different piazza. avebury Jun 2013 #5
