Well this does it read all about it folks. I had these pictures of a long time trip to Rome and could not figure it out what it was ! Finally, looking again online was able to identify it. This is the opportunity to tell you all about the Galleria Sciarra of Rome! Hope you enjoy the find as I !!!
The Gallery Sciarra is a covered passageway in Rome, in the Trevi district. The Galleria Sciarra is located in via Minghetti, a side street of via del Corso, and is located in the center of the building complex which starts from Banco di Roma and ends with the Quirino theater on via delle Vergini. The building was built between 1885 and 1888, originally as a courtyard at the end of the Palazzo Sciarra Colonna di Carbognano, as part of the restructuring and modernization of services in the center of Rome, linked to the construction of the new capital city.
The central part is filled with architectural elements and painted by Giuseppe Cellini, in the Art Nouveau style, developing the iconographic theme of the “Glorification of Woman”, illustrating the models of female virtue (Modesty, Sobriety, Strength, Humility, Prudence, Patience, Kindness, Wife, Faithfulness, Friendliness, Mercy). There are also scenes of the daily life of the bourgeoisie. The vault is made of iron and glass. During the restoration carried out in the late 1970s, the building was completely gutted from the inside, and rebuilt in reinforced concrete. However, the paintings and decorations, as well as the iron structures, have been saved.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers
