In Palazzo Barberini in Rome there exists an incredible marble stairway.
Above: not a great picture but in the simple Doric columns there are the Barberini bees.🐝
🐝 back soon with part 3 of this visit. Too cute? Be back soon.
Palazzo Barberini, Rome, part 2: The most lovely marble stairway ever? I think YES!
get back, lauretta! 
Dumb-founding and stupendous (no I haven’t raided Roget)!
Indeed Michael! The stairway IS stupendous. Those Mannerist artists were everything!
Unfortunately, I got my scheduled posts a little out of order. This is “part 2” but I haven’t yet published “part 1”. I’ve been sick this week and I’m going to blame that! haha. Take care M!
I hope you get better very quickly. You are missing so much out there.
Working on getting better; saw Doc and got antibiotics yesterday. Fingers crossed! Take care, M!
