  • Palazzo Doria Pamphilj

    After strolling around Monti I somehow ended up at Via del Corso, the shopping area in Rome, and while I was looking around for some caffé, I found myself at the entrance of the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj. I had no idea what kind of museum it was, I just liked the pictures shown at the entrance and the inner courtyard looked so peaceful and beautiful. The ticket bought itself.

    Walking through another courtyard and up some stairs I entered the first of the state rooms – Palazzo Doria Pamhilj is still in private ownership and houses the large art collection assembled by the families Doria, Pamphilj, Landi and Aldobrandini starting in the 16th century. Besides the gallery it is possible to visit a part of the apartement and the family chapel.

  • 3 days – 3 cities

    …sounds almost like a movie from the 50ies “Europe in 7 days”! It kind of happend by itself when I was planning this trip.

    Three cities and all of them so different!

    It was my forth time in Rome, second one this year. I stayed in Monti and felt in love with this area! Part of it is hectic and fast and loud and then there are these cute little alleys with tiny shops of all kinds: fashion, vintage, art, design, artisan and so on. It was so different from staying in Trastevere in spring.

    According to my partents I´ve been to Florence and Milan as a child around the age of 8 or 9 – I can´t remember any of it. And even while walking through Florence yesterday and Milan today – still no memory at all.

    I felt as if the real beauty of Florence is hidden behind the doors. Kind of modest house(palazzo)fronts and when you peek inside there are the most beautiful painted walls and wooden ceilings. And there are soooo many people everywhere and it felt like everyone has at least two selfie sticks, they are everywhere! My favourite part was the walk to Piazzale Michelangelo and the area below – I always love to look at rooftops.

    And today I arrived in Milan! Elegant buildings, yellow trams and Expo – so far so good!
