I love to visit museums, and today I feel as if I have been to the Palazzo Madama. It was a treat. And thank you for sharing the history of it and the details of various pictures. I laughed at the one of your family's Coat of Arms. Barbara

Roberto, I am glad that you have been able to present us with such a historical feature which depicts Roman archtecture at its best. The 18 year renovation was worth it, and is already benefiting us through your excellent photos. Thanks for sharing. I also see that WS has added an option to stop the zooming or panning in the slideshow feature, good for all concerned. Ciao from Paul in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

Valeva la pena di attendere 18 anni di restauro per avere sotto gli occhi una vera meraviglia come questa! Bellissimo! La storia sembra fermare il suo corso per qualche istante mentre si ammirano bellezze di tal fatta! Un reportage bellissimo del quale ti ringrazio. Un abbraccio. Simonetta

Roberto, thank you for giving us such a beautiful tour of the Palazzo. I feel like I've been to your beautiful city. Your photos are wonderful and really captured the details of the artwork. It is so funny how we Americans think that 100 years ago is ancient...this really puts it all in perspective! Tibby

Hi Roberto, I agree with Susie - hope you will add som more information on individual photos. Eighteen years of restoration - Wow. That cost a pretty penny to accomplish. Very interesting place. Carol
