Rome, 2007
Vittoriano on Piazza Venezia was nicknamed "the type-writer" by the Romans and 'the wedding cake" by American GIs of WW2. I still can't help but be impressed by the grandeur of Mussolini's white elephant.

I bet it's gorgeous inside! I hope you have some photos to share with us one day. :)
Fabulous!
it's gorgeous. when you say typewriter, I see it, though not at first.
I enjoyed the photo even more by clicking on it to enlarge it to full screen. Beautiful!
Hahaha! I see why they call it the typewriter. A wonderful photo, and I, too, would love to see what it looks like inside.
solid building, it gives us lovely imagery from outside.
It looks more like a typewriter than a wedding cake. I think I like it, now that typewriters aren't being manufactured any more.

Rome is so beautiful! We were there last summer and I would love to go back - When it's not so HOT!
Haven't been there for ages!Lovely photo:)

We don't see this kind of grandeur anymore! The building is absolutely fantastic.
I would have never thought it looked like a typewriter, but now that you said that, I see nothing else. Still, it looks like an amazing old building.
I laughed when I read 'The Typewriter', but then I looked more closely and I saw why! It looks just like a typewriter; the perfect description!
That is so beautiful! What a great V post!
