When people think about Rome their thoughts automatically go to the Forum Romanum, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain and all the other amazing monuments of majestic ancient Rome.

But Rome is not only about “old stuff” and ancient history. Rome is also one of the Italian cities where all the most famous artists and architects want to leave a trace of their work.

 

Auditorium Parco della Musica

One of the most fabulous examples of modern art & architecture in Rome is the Auditorium “Parco della Musica” (Music Park) designed by the most famous Italian modern architect: Renzo Piano. This beautiful structure is composed of 3 concert halls (Sala Petrassi, Sala Sinopoli and Sala Santa Cecilia) and by an open theater that recalls the structure of an ancient roman theater.

Something I’ll never tire of rubbing in the faces of my mainland counterparts is the plenitude of world-class museums in London that are completely free to browse.  I briefly mentioned the subject in last year’s London A-Z, but it might have seemed too good to be true.  It wasn’t.
England may have sold its National Health Service and education system along with any shred of integrity it hid behind, but the museums remain open and free…for now.

Here I’ll just cover some of the largest and most popular, but one day I might also follow up with a post dedicated to hidden gems and underrated novelties.
