Sometimes interiors are a little problematic, but...

 

This staircase is justifiably famous.

Not an easy one, but I'm fairly clear now (thanks, Google) this is the Bernini staircase in the Villa Barberini.

 

Not one I've seen, but thanks, Michael, for flagging up what looks like an essential visit for my next Rome trip :D

Jim,

 

You're absolutely right. The staircase is beautiful. It is on the left as you enter the Palazzo Barberini. On the right of the entrance is another equally famous staircase by Borromini - the Bernini staircase is basically square - all right angles. The Borromini example is oval, and equally beautiful. But I prefer the Bernini one. In addition to the beautiful architecture, the collection of pictures housed in the Palazzo Barberini is worth a visit to Rome all on its own. Don't miss it.

ok - sorry for the delay but back home now: here's one that should be familiar to some here...

 

So I'll need the name of the street :D
