Trying to haggle with vendors is not always easy as I experienced the other night. While in Piazza Navona the other night I saw a few paintings I really liked. I have found that with patience it is usually easy to get a fair price from vendors, however this was not the case the other night. The vendor had already agreed to sell me one painting for a set price, when I tried to get a second for the same price he would not sell it to me, and even claimed that I was trying to rip him off.
All money issues aside, the Piazza Navona is a great place to pick up some fairly cheap art. Quite often you can find art salesmen in front of the Quattro dei Fuimi fountain trying to sell paintings.

- I am a Penn State student who will be spending the next seven weeks exploring Rome and its culture. One theme I will concentrate on in my blog is going to be the churches of Rome. Another theme that I will often write about is going to be Piazza Navona. Throughout the next seven weeks you can follow me on my adventure through Rome.
