The Musei Capitolini are located in the Palazzo Nuovo and the Palazzo dei Conservatori, both on the Piazza del Campidoglio but on opposite sides.

April 25, 2010
I started ‘Browsing Rome with…’ as I thought it would be interesting to get different perspectives of Rome from the people who love the city, frequent visitors, expats living here and Romans themselves.
