Residenza


The Palazzo dei Quirinal — or, colloquially, just Quirinale — is sort of the White House of Italy but way, way, way bigger.  It’s the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic and sits atop the highest of the Seven Hills of Rome.In front is a statue of the twin brothers Pollux and Castor (as in the two brightest stars of & inspiration for the constellation Gemini) taming horses.  Plus another Roman obelisk.  Because you gotta have an obelisk.
