We continued to explore the small museum in the Palazzo delle Poste, on Piazza di San Silvestro.

In the center of the museum area, you will find a memorial to Ernesto D’Amico, who was the general director of the Italian Telegraph Company, and was responsible for the start of the collection of telegraphic equipment and material, we see here today.

We exited the building by a side door, and continued on with our exploration!

Palazzo Marignoli dates from 1878, and was designed by the architect, Salvatore Bianchi, for the Marquis Filippo Marignoli, and his family.  The Marignoli children sold the building in 1909, to the Riunione Adriatica di Sicurtà.  Today, it is owned by the Allianz Company.

A plaque, on the façade of a building on Via di Sant’Andrea delle Fratte, marks the house where Antonio “Uccio” Pisino lived.  Pisino was a partisan from Maglie, Italy, and was among those murdered by the Nazis at the Fosse Ardeatine, on March 24th, 1944.

Later that evening, after a stroll around the city, we ended up having dinner at Civico 35, where we dined on a delicious, fish-based meal, accompanied by a wonderful white wine.

As we made our way back towards the apartment, we found ourselves in front of the Trevi Fountain.  It was a little before midnight, and while there were still people around, most of the tourists, that normally crowd the area, were gone.  It was wonderful!

 

Next up: There is never a shortage of things to see in Rome, as we continue to explore!
