The Casa de Bambini was the very first Montessori school in existance (I go to AMS Austin Montessori School by the way). It was founded in 1907 by Maria Montessori and is still running.
While we were there our guide Don told us that it was actually his wife Donna's birthday that day. So after we left the Casa de Bambini we called her at three o'clock her time and sang her happy birthday.
After that we went to a small cafe where I had a small lemon pastry before we moved on. Next we went to the National Museum of Rome. It that had many ancient Greek and Roman statues and mosaics. The stone statues were absolutely amazing in the way that they captured texture. The clothes and hair were amazingly lifelike. they made it look like they would actually ripple like real clothing if you were to touch them. And all of he folds were perfect to!
Last but not least we went to a beautifully decorated church that also contained and ancient sundial for telling the seasons.
