Below are pictures of Rome you will not see on those glossy travel sites.
Do all Roman Policemen carry handbags?

A Roman wedding. Notice the unique head-ware at bottom right.

Now thats the way to go to a wedding!

Grand architecture abounds…notice the sign at bottom left.

The Sant Angelo bridge from above

Inside the Vatican. That modern, shiny globe just seem so out of place.

Its off to work we go

The escape route for Pope’s of old. The wall disappearing into the trees connects the Vatican to the old Roman Fortress. The pope could run along the top of that wall without being seen from below.

Modern Romans mimic their ancestors to make a living

My favorite way to see Rome. Outside dining near the Pantheon. Foods great, scenery is great. Rome in a nutshell!

Thanks for reminding me that, in spite of three years of Latin in high school and two more years in college (I’m a glutton for punishment) I’ve still never been to Italy. Now I need to make sure I get the right kind of hat before I go–although the car is pretty much out of reach.
