Ciao Roma

Sometimes it is good have low expectations, when you get to visit a new place.

That’s what happened to me in Rome. All the opinions I heard about the “Eternal City” came down to misery, gypsies, and uninteresting places to visit. But after I had the opportunity to get there, I realized that this is not the case. Indeed, the elements listed above are not missing, but they do not dominate the landscape.

When you look at the imposing Colosseum, you almost don’t even notice the Indians eager to sell you something else. Admiring the Trevi Fountain for a few minutes, street children sleeping on the sidewalk are like your friends.

Rome is a pleasant mixture of black and white, old and new, grand and minimal.
