photos of rome today

a brief tour in pictures...

Ah, yes - The classic Italian street-scene - Cotton bedsheets hang drying in a cobbled alley in Trastevere, Rome's 'Left Bank', where little (apart from the sheets) has changed for five hundred years.

Another 'unspoilt', practically mediaeval sheet, (sorry, I mean street) and this one's much nearer the centre of town, not far from Piazza Navona. Yes, people actually live here, and pay millions for the privilege. Looks like an oil painting doesn't it? If this was in Birmingham, you would call it a seedy run-down slum. But because it's Rome, we say "Gee Honey, I would just lluuurrrve to live here, I would pay the EARTH for an apartment like that, isn't it sooooooooooooooo cute?!!"
I'm not disagreeing. I'd like to live in it too. But my, we human beings are funny unpredictable creatures aren't we?

Typical Italian gasoline filling station. In urban areas, they just nestle on the sidewalk like this. Blink and you'll miss it.
This one's at Piazza della Repubblica.
