So as not to overwhelm my <a href="http://followerintorome.blogspot.it/">other blog</a>, this blog will cover the places I study in my "Art and Architecture of Rome" class in greater detail. It will include historical information, fun facts, and, of course, pictures of all the places, buildings, and art that I learn about in Roma. It will serve both for your enjoyment and my study guide. Everyone wins!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14158760948108217126noreply@blogger.com0
