This afternoon the weather in Rome is supposed to be bad. Shopping with my clients from Hotel de Russie might be really painfull. A good alternative could be to take them to visit "War is Over" at Palazzo Braschi. It is an amazing photo exhibition with about 140 pictures from the Istituto Luce and the U.S.Signal Corps. The photos were shooted between 1943 and 1946, some are them were never shown. I went to see it yesterday afternoon and I discover a lot of things such as that the Viareggio rail station had been bombed, that the American had a kind of fascination for "The Bel Paese" even if it was completely destroyed. You can do some shopping buying the nice and interesting catalogue published by Contrasto.
