Gallery of the Candelabras
---------------------------------------
The first crowded room we entered was the Gallery of the Candelabras. It was so packed with people I felt suffocated and frustrated. Views of some of the classical Roman sculptures were obscured by real life bodies which were annoying as historically they are very interesting as they date back from the 3rd century BC to the 3rd century AD. The art work on the vaulted ceiling was impressive and for all you art buffs out there the ceiling was painted by Domenico Torti and Ludwig Seitz. The
painting of the frescoes started in 1883 and was completed in 1887.
