What people say

"This hill was the center of politics and religion in ancient Rome, with important temples like the Temple of Jupiter. In the Renaissance, Michelangelo redesigned it, creating the beautiful Piazza del Campidoglio with three buildings: Palazzo Senatorio, Palazzo dei Conservatori, and Palazzo Nuovo. Today, these buildings are part of the Capitoline Museums, which have many classical sculptures, Renaissance art, and Roman artifacts, including the famous Dying Gaul and the original statue of Marcus Aurelius."
