My first stop in Europe was in Rome.  Rome is so beautiful!  I love that Rome is full of incredible monuments all over the city.  With the coliseum, the forum, and so many artifacts from the Roman Empire scattered all around you everywhere you go make the entire city literally a living museum of art, beauty, and history. I love that the piazzas in Rome ignite the imagination. The Roman Piazza is always filled with beautiful statues, such as this lion at the Monument of Victor Emmanuel in Piazza Venezia.  While I was in the Piazza Venezia, I made sure to spend the day at an art exhibition visiting one of my hero's who is one of the great legends in the history of art.
