A very special welcome to this section. It is reserved to those who have a deep interest in my site. The exhibitions in this wing reflect ideas and notes on various topics, not necessarily related to Rome (the icon shows a detail of the Monument to Leo XI by Alessandro Algardi in St Peter's - the background of the page shows a detail of the School of Athens painted by Raphael in Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican Palace.)
