Another view of Piazza del Campidoglio the beautiful square designed by Michelangelo.
Symbolically, Michelangelo's design for Rome's first 'modern' piazza also re-orientated the square on top of Rome's most important hill towards the new Papal Rome instead of the historic Roman Forum.
The City Council of Rome ('Assemblea Capitolina' or Capitoline Assembly) still meets at the Palazzo Senatorio (at centre right here).
Rome; July 2019
