<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 346420, member: 5833"]Looks glorious. Too long ago to say, I was in Rome for 3 days & I adored it. Have always wanted to go back. The majority of cameos take their images from Baroque or neoclassical paintings & sculptures, or from 'the antique', what most of us would call antiquities, not to mention copying each other. The Archeological Museum holds so many things that provided inspiration, as do the Vatican Museums & the Uffizi. So you know where I'd want to go when in Florence. Lorenzo de' Medici's gem collection was legendary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
