This is a monument to Victor Emmanuel II, who was the first king of a united Italy. It also houses Italy's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It is quite large!

We went to the Museo Capitolini next. I saw this sort of chart around museums and such - it seems to be rating them, presumably for funding purposes or something. I like charts!

Our hotel had a nice rooftop garden - this was the first day we ventured up there. (I have my notebook for writing and my Kindle for reading :-) )
