At the Chiostro del Bramante on the Via della Pace, an exhibition of archaeological finds pertaining to the life and achievements of Julius Caesar (" Giulio Cesare. L'uomo, le imprese, il mito" ) will be on display from October 24th to April 5th. More recent works of art, such as paintings by Rubens, will also be shown in this exciting and exclusive exhibit. The Chiostro was designed by the brilliant architect Donato Bramante in the early 16th century is located in the convent and church of Santa Maria della Pace.

A few months ago, Elle Magazine interviewed longtime Rome resident Erin Bazos about her insider favorites in Rome. Unfortunately the article is not on-line, but The Modern Traveler is happy to pass on her restaurant recommendations. On the Via della Pace is Chiostro del Bramante , a combination art gallery/bookstore/caffetteria which serves sandwiches, salads, wine and coffee surrounded by art on loan from museums. The cafe is attached to a cloister (pictured) designed by the brilliant architect Donato Bramante in 1504. On the lighter side, head to Zaza at Piazza Sant'Eustachio 49 for pizza with exceptional dough.
