The Capuchin Crypt, officially known as the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini, is one of Rome's unique attractions, located on Via Veneto. This church is renowned for its striking underground crypts, adorned with the bones of approximately 4,000 Capuchin friars, creating a mysterious and thought-provoking cultural attraction. Upon entering the church, visitors are guided to the underground crypt, which is divided into several small chapels. The walls and ceilings of each chapel are meticulously adorned with human bones arranged into intricate artistic patterns. These skeletal decorations not only showcase a unique aesthetic style but also convey philosophical reflections on the brevity of life and the inevitability of death. The inscription in the crypt—"What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be"—further reinforces this theme. Beyond its skeletal artistry, the church itself serves as a tranquil space for prayer and meditation, where visitors can reflect on life's meaning and human fragility. The church's architecture features a simple yet solemn style, creating a striking contrast with the awe-inspiring underground ossuary. This place is not just a visual spectacle, but also a space that provokes deep reflection. It challenges visitors to contemplate the cycle of life and the commonality of humanity, making it an unmissable destination for every traveler seeking unique experiences and spiritual enlightenment.

Ponte Sant'Angelo is an ancient Roman bridge spanning the Tiber River in Rome. It was built by Emperor Hadrian and was originally used to connect the city center with his newly built mausoleum, which is nowCastel Sant'Angelo, hence it is also known as the Bridge of Hadrian. Today, the bridge is for pedestrians only. Standing on the bridge facing the castle is a common vantage point for taking panoramic photos of the castle and viewing both banks of the Tiber River. The origin of the bridge's name comes from a legend: during a plague outbreak in Rome in the 6th century, it is said that when Pope Gregory I led the people in prayer, the Archangel Michael appeared on top of the castle and sheathed his sword, signaling that the plague would end. Since then, both the castle and this bridge have been renamed "Sant'Angelo." What is worth a closer look on the bridge are the rows of angel statues: designed in the 17th century under the direction of sculptor Bernini, the 10 angels each hold an instrument of the Passion of Jesus, including the cross, the crown of thorns, nails, a whip, and a placard inscribed with "King of the Jews," each with different postures and expressions. At both ends of the bridge stand statues of the apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul. The 2 statues holding the crown of thorns and the placard were created by Bernini himself. They were later collected by Pope Clement IX and are now housed in the Church of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte in Rome; what you see on the bridge today are replicas.

A really interesting exhibition about the life and works of Leonardo da Vinci, compete with recreations of his paintings and models of his inventions. It’s fascinating to see his works in person and how effective and functional all of his drawings were! I really recommend it to families in particular, the audioguide is also very informative in multiple languages

The National Monument to Victor Emmanuel II or the Vittoriano Monument, known as the Altare della Patria, is a national monument built in memory of Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of a unified Italy, located in Rome, Italy. It is located between Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill. From an architectural point of view, it is conceived as a modern forum, with three floors of market halls connected by stairs and dominated by a portico with the characteristics of a colonnade. The monument is dedicated to King Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy, who undertook a complex process of national unity and liberation from foreign domination, and has great symbolic and representative value, centered on the unification of Italy both in architecture and art, and for this reason, the Vittoriano is considered one of the national symbols of Italy.

A great place to walk and have an exercise. Easy to arrive just take the bus or tram, have a place wherein you can also stay and relax for a while since there are trees to cover or give you a shade from the sun.

After all, it is a national level event, and it is worth going. Before going, it is recommended to search for information on Wikipedia and read it.

The Rome Opera House, which I also happened to pass by, is very close to the Republic Square. Unfortunately, there were no performances when I happened to see it, so the lights in the opera house were dim and I couldn't see it very clearly. It feels like a majestic and ancient building.
