Rome - Sights of Rome



Rome is always fascinating.

Not only because of the monuments and history but the many and varied vistas to be seen around every corner




The local fruit and vegie stall near Via Condotti in Via Bocca di Leone



The "pedestrian" streets around Piazza di Spagna




Another local fruit and vegie store near Via delle Croce




Motor cycles, pedestrians and cobblestones




A beautiful building housing designer shops and Rinascentre opposite parliament house in Via del Corso




Looking out to Via del Corso and the parliamentary precinct




Via del Seminario near the church of Saint Ignazio




One of many streets you find yourself in as you meander through Rome




Campo Fiore where every morning is market day with the statue of Giadano Bruni
(who was burned at the stake for speaking out)




Piazza Farnese and the French embassy




Fountains, fountains and more fountains....spectacular



Ristorante Monserrato near Piazza Farnese in Via di Monserrato is well worth going to. Very traditional Roman with accommodating waiters.






My old favourite, the Pantheon




Occassionally look up and you will see the many outstanding balcony apartments throughout the city




The column of Marcus Aurelius in the parliamentary precinct on Via del Corso




Decorations above the post office in Piazza Silvestre




All roads lead to..............



Via del Barbuino looking toward Piazza del Popolo




Why wouldn't you be happy!
Love the smile Carolyna....and the bag



 Well another Roman journey. We never tire of this magical city

Baci e abbracci a tutti

Carolyna e Alan
