Without doubt one of the most impressive
buildings in the Eternal City located in Piazza Colonna
and very near the official merchandising store of AS
Roma the official soccer team in Rome.
The Parliament itself is informally
known as Piazza Colonna due to the presence of a huge
obelisk in the middle of the square. The square is a
strict no go area whenever the Italian parliament are
in session.
We suggest you go and see it during
the day time on a Sunday as it is surely one of the
most impressive buildings to be found in the Eternal
City Rome. Be warned though that due to the increased
security some restrictions may be enforced to stop you
taking photographs of this highly sensitive building.
The Italian parliamentary debates are often very heated
and several times a year end up in a free for all with
blows being exchanged by the various political parties.
