Dream at the Colosseo


During the night you go on the big road , 'Fori Imperiali' , which starts from Piazza Venezia , and you can see at the end the big structure of the "COLOSSEO". You arrive closer and it's like a dream . Suggestion of neverending life . Eternity . Power . You can loose contact with the others around you and hear voices of gladiators of a no time dimension . you are in a place not place where yellow lights of the past run throu your mind.

The hot spot


This is a picture from Via dei Condotti watching the church Trinità dei Monti and the big "obelisco" , roman imitation of egyptian one built during imperial period.
The obelisco represent the connection between the church and the big famouse perron where thousands of turists sit every day of every year warming under the hot sun of Rome!
The church is restructuring and so big spot (the versace one is now evident) are mounted on the face of the building. Here in rome ,the covering with big photo during a building restructuring is become an important business!!!! Many ancient buildings ...many restructurings...many big surfaces for spots = money

Fontanone with ICE


Today 2 degrees centigrade (35,6 Fahrenheit) in Rome and the water inside the big fountain on the top of the hill of Gianicolo is ICE even if an impessive sun is warming the air.
The big fountaine on Gianicolo Hill is in Via Garibaldi , close to S.Pietro and Montorio sqare and it's well known with the name of "Fontanone". It is similar to the Mosè fountaine in S.Bernardo sqare but this is more elegant. It was realized between 1608 and 1612 by Giovanni Fontana with the collaboration of Flaminio Ponzio.
