Piazza di Pietra

Not far from the Pantheon towards Via del Corso is Piazza di Pietra, a beautiful narrow piazza which has massive columns on one side. These columns were part of a temple built to commemorate the Emperor Hadrian.
There are a few popular restaurants and bars which make this piazza a lively place at night.





 The roof garden of Albergo Cesari overlooks the piazza


Yesterday afternoon the Polizia Municipale band played in the piazza and they had a very appreciative audience for their set of swing music.  At the end they all put on their hats and stood to play the Italian national anthem with great enthusiasm -a great rousing piece of music.
