Thursday we went to the Tivoli Gardens. The Lizzie McGuire movie was filmed there is the only thing I knew about it before we went. It was beautiful! I saw Fountain Di Diana Efesia, and so many other beautiful water fountains. There was a tree that had grown into the side of a wall that was interesting. The Tivoli Gardens are high up so the view is incredible.
We went to the Capital line on Friday morning. In the museum is where they relocated a statue that used to be on the streets of Rome. There is a group of statues that people would come up and write things on to express their feelings about things happening in Rome. The other statues are still out there but they are not allowed to be written on anymore. The idea was basically someone would write something and place it with one of the statues and then the other statues would “respond.” It was a way for people to communicate anonymously, but the city decided to basically jail this one statue because he was “too outspoken.”
