When death is not gloomy |
151 Via dell'Arco di Travertino Rome, Rome 00178 +39 6 3996 7700 |
This archaeological park was created in the second half of the 19th century when a series of excavations uncovered various sepulchres and tombs along Via Latina. The tombs are very well-preserved. The 'Barberini' sepulchre is simple but elegant and is where Barberini sarcophagus was discovered, now on display in the Vatican Museum. In the second tomb, there is a white, stucco-covered interior, with depictions of an underwater world with tritons, Nereids and dancing semi-gods. Another tomb has many bright colours and elaborate pictures of mythological episodes featuring Apollo, Diana, Paris and Hercules, etc. Review © 2009, Wcities |
