Italy - Roma Museo Nationale - the Boxer

Almost 20 years ago when we first came to Rome, we first saw the Boxer. Ever since then when we came back to Rome I’d try to see him. This is the first time I succeeded. And it was worth the  visit. 

The immediacy and naturalness of the sculpture makes it not just memorable but also relatable. 

There are other notable works of ancient art with many busts, frescoes and mosaics. 

We did not use a guide, so my u understanding of what I saw was limited. There was an entire floor that appeared to be the reconstruction of an ancient villa.
