Candid Photos From Auschwitz on Display in Rome

Article from NY Times

Visiting the exhibit last month, the Nobel prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, spoke of the importance of such displays. “People who listen to the witnesses become witnesses themselves,” he said.

The Vittoriano is open from Monday to Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Friday to Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Jack and Charlotte both very intrigued by this period of history, might be a good exhibit for them to see.

Piazza Venezia/via di San Pietro in Carcere/piazza Aracoeli

March 16th, Galleria Borghese, 9am

I made reservations @ Galleria Borghese for March 16th. Our entrance time is 9am and we have to be there @ 8:30 to get tickets: Our reservation # is 42320254 -E. While we haven't discussed going, I know it is by reservation only so I thought better to have the option. If we buy the Roma Pass, this gallery can be one of the places we use the pass for. We opted for the 9 am rather than the 12 pm entry time because we are in Rome and want to get a jump on the day.

London Times suggestion

17 Da Augusto, Rome
Rome has wonderful high-end dining experiences — it’s one of the few capital cities to have retained its culinary heritage. But, as the Romans say, “The more you spend, the worse you eat”, so, for a truly authentic experience, have lunch at a trattoria such as Da Augusto, in Trastevere, where the food is as straightforward as, say, spaghetti cacio e pepe (spaghetti with cheese and pepper) or the even simpler spaghetti aglio e olio (pasta with olive oil and garlic).
Piazza dei Renzi 15, Via Della Pelliccia; closed Saturday evening and Sunday; no reservations or credit cards; mains from £6; 00 39 06 580 3798, no website
