...classics that fill most of the city's other galleries. Nestled on a landing is Maurizio Cannavacciuolo's sculpture of an Egyptian mummy, but my favorite is a statuette of Star Wars' Yoda wearing a Pope's miter by Australia-born Adrian Tranquilli. (Go to www.residencebarberini.com for a preview some of the artworks.) The hotel is located off Piazza Barberini, just minutes from the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps and a host of other Roman attractions.
