Hice la visita guiada, que se debe reservar con antelación. Todo el resto de visitantes eran italianos. ¡Pero ojo! El palacio merece muchísimo la pena, ya que originalmente fue residencia papal, decorada con el mayor boato renacentista y barroco. Más tarde Napoleón quiso convertirlo en la residencia de su hijo, para lo que realizó un mayúsculo proyecto artístico neoclásico (durante el que incluso se trajeron mosaicos romanos de ruinas para decorar los suelos). Todo eso ha dejado la impronta en un edificio que hoy es la residencia del Presidente de Italia. Merece muchísimo la pena.

La Piazza del Quirinale en Roma es una obra maestra de arte e historia. La grandeza del Palacio Presidencial y el cautivador Obelisco crean una atmósfera impresionante. Las vistas panorámicas de Roma son impresionantes, especialmente durante el atardecer. El ambiente sereno lo hace perfecto para un paseo tranquilo. Los jardines y esculturas de los alrededores añaden encanto y ofrecen una encantadora escapada del bullicio de la ciudad. La importancia histórica y la belleza arquitectónica la convierten en una visita obligada. Piazza del Quirinale es una verdadera joya, una mezcla de elegancia y cultura, que merece su calificación de cinco estrellas. ¡Un destino imperdible en el corazón de Roma!
