A Bernini Walk

Hi! Today we went on a very long walk through Rome to find Bernini's sculptures and buildings. That man did a lot in 82 years (1598-1680)! 

Here are a few:

These bees are found in the Palazzo Barberini. Bernini used the bees 

to represent the Barberini family. 

We also walked to the Trevi fountain. This is Bernini's

 most famous sculpture and also the most famous fountain

in Rome. You are supposed to throw in a coin if you wish to 

return to Rome.  

This isn't a great picture, but Bernini designed the front of 

what is now the Italian parliament building. 

Bernini designed this elephant and it was later

completed by his apprentices.  

In the evening we went to the fountain in the Piazza Navona. 

Each person represents one of four rivers. The Nile, Danube, 

Ganges, and Rio De La Plata are included. 

Anyone have a favorite? Maybe one that I didn't include?

See you soon,

Luisa
