First day of school...in a Roman palace!!!

"This place is, like, stupid-pretty."

So spoke one of my classmates this morning as we stood by the fountain in the central courtyard of the Palazzo Taverna, a 13th Century palace located between the Piazza Navona and Castel Sant'Angelo, in the heart of the old city. The UA Rome Center occupies several rooms in one wing of the palazzo, and it is filled with Pompeian-style wall paintings, Egyptian-style chandeliers, and crooked, time-worn steps. I think I could get used to this.
