You're standing on Piazza Farnese, in front of Palazzo Farnese, the largest Renaissance palace in Rome. Romans nicknamed it il dado, the dice. Can you see why? It's one big, closed block, and you can barely see the roof. That's thanks to the heavy cornice right at the top, which juts out a full metre. That's Michelangelo's work.
