 This beautiful tomb with paintings returned to light in1951 during some street works in Quirino Maiorana road.
It was excavated inside the tufa stone and was part of a vast necropolis area dating from the end of the first century A.D. until the third century A.D.  This is an extremely easy recipe that gives excellent results and require a very short preparation.
Take all the kind of vegetables you like more (zucchini, pepper, potatoes, mushrooms, carrot, onion, tomato, artichokes – not leafs vegetables as spinach , usually I don’t use broccoli or cauliflowers either because they have a too strong flavor that will cover the others) or you’ve at home. The first public art collection is the Capitoline museum in Rome. Established in 1471 thanks to an important donation of antique sculptures and bronze artworks donated to the Roman citizens by the pope Sistus IV.

It’s quite an happening to be there when this happens, as it’s the time we understand better the real dimension of this colossal sculpture conceived and casted by Gianlorenzo Bernini in the 17th century. This year I was in the archeological area when this happened but my sister Marta Marsili, a great local guide of Rome, was there, and she made the picture I show you.  The Vittoriano initially was conceived to pay a tribute to the memory of the first king of Italy Victor Emanuel II, and to Italian unification.
In a second moment it was chosen as the site of patriotic cult to the Unknown Soldier and Altar to the Homeland. In Easter week there are many celebrations in the Vatican. Travelers that wish to visit Rome has to remember that the visit of Saint Peter Basilica can be difficult, while the Vatican museums are closed on April the 8th and 9th.
