Day 2 - Piazza del Popolo

Sunday, 23 December 2007

The Piazza del Popolo is a square in Rome, Italy. The name in modern Italian literally means "piazza of the people", but historically it derives from the poplars (populus in Latin, pioppo in Italian) after which the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, in the northeast corner of the piazza, takes its name.

As our pictures are taken in the night, the quality sucks. Therefore, the bottom 3 pictures are taken from Wikipedia for you guys to have a better view of the Piazza.

Fontana della Dea Roma - This fountain represents the goddess Dea Roma armed with lance and helmet, and in front is the she-wolf feeding Romulus and Remus
