From the Office of Scale Models
Planning on visiting Rome? Put this on your list of thing to see: LINK
This really gets me excited. I've been infatuated with miniature scenes and tiny sets ever since I was a little boy. My grandpa had a scale model of a small town with a train going through it. It was top of my todo list of things to check out when I'd go visit him. My favorite part of Mister Roger's Neighborhood was the end and beginning where the camera pans across the scale model of Mister Roger's neighborhood. If there's something like this at a visitors center, a museum, or a road side tourist attraction you bet I'm stopping to check it out.
This particular model took 35 years to build. It was the project of Italian architect Italo Gismondi. Look at the level of detail, and the overall scale of this thing!
