Third Times a Charm

Today we went to the Tempietto for class, which is the third time I've been. Its just a small little temple, so there isn't too much to see. But I tried to get a few new sketches in. It is up on the Gianicolo, which has a great view of the city. It was beautiful up there today, so I didn't mind seeing the Tempietto again.


Before the Tempietto we went to Santa Maria della Pace. It was my first time there. It is a small church which is notable because legend has it someone threw a rock at a painting of the Virgin Mary, and the painting bled. Since then it considered a pilgrimage site. There is also a cloister, designed by Bramante (who also did the Tempietto). It was partially covered by a temporary exhibit, which was basically a glass-like tent in the center of the space.


The sunset walking home the other night was incredible....
