A shot from my car while 2 nuns crossing the road at Circo Massimo .
This oval basin, nearly 600 meters long, is almost entirely filled in with dirt. It was once a race track. It was made in the time of the Etruscan kings (presumably Tarquinio Prisco). Augustus adorned the brick structure with an imperial stage, which was rebuilt by Trajan, enlarged by Caracalla and restored by Constantine. During the reign of Constantine, the Circus could hold more than 200,000 spectators. Today only the outline remains (the area it occupied is now a public garden but often is used for concerts or big events like the big party when Rome football team win the Italian cup ).
One of the most famouse and old Caffè in Rome : "Caffè della Pace " in Via della pace 3 close to Piazza Navona it's a very italian style coffe to visit.
Carneval time is arriving and the party begins for all roman babies around the city.

Yesterday I've been to India Theatre ,Via L. Pierantoni, 6, Rome where I've seen a very interesting show on immigrates: "Single Gone. A different travel from the others ".
"Single Gone trip " it's an interactive show where you can live the real experience of an immigrate who leave his country to look for a best life in Europe . I's like a role game where plases are reconstructed like natural measure of atmospheres . The visitor is invited to identify in one of the figures of immigrant , I was Assif from Bangladesh, and you have to understand the reasons why you want to leave your native country, the difficulties met in the arrival in the europe country, the contacts with the bureaucracy, the working and social insertion. The stages of this distance are guided from actors of foreign origin them self.
The Show was presented in december with the presence of the Mayor of Rome Walter Veltroni, the President of the Lazio Region Piero Marrazzo, the President of the Provence of Rome Enrico Gasbarra and presented by the the High Commissariat of the United Nations for Shelters - UNHCR- Laura Boldrini. more images

Walter Veltroni improved Rome in an extraordinary way. Not only are the public services better now than they were in the past; he fully realized that Rome's greatest capital is tourism and art. New museums and villas, the Auditorium by Renzo Piano, free concerts of international importance with artists such as McCartney and Simon & Garfunkel, the Europe Music Award and "La casa del Jazz" where I've taken this shot. The improvement of the road network and the new trains in the underground; the struggle against unauthorized building; a serious environmental policy; the expansion of malls; the care and consideration for people's problems; and immigrants, above all, a way of acting in politics without imposing oneself but by dialogue and comprehension. He really has a kind word for all. Thank you, Mr Veltroni. Ph: © 2006 , giovanni de angelis

The Wishing Fountain.Today warm and sunny day. Fontana di Trevi ,at the bottom of the street, backed by the façade of the Palazzo Poli, (have a look of the first image posted on this web) looms the most stunning of the fountains of Rome: the central figure, the Ocean (by Pietro Bracci) is shown dominating sea horses guided by Tritons, while in the niches on either side are the figures of Abundance (on the left) and Health (on the right), both by Filippo della Valle.
Bernini had initially been commissioned by Urban VIII to construct a monumental fountain, but the project had been abandoned after the Popes' death. It was Nicola Salvi, almost a century later, who was to build this ensemble on the site of one of Rome's earliest fountains designed to receive the water of the Aqua Virgo.
The bliss of returning to the Eternal City is guaranteed to all foreigners who, with their back turned, throw a coin over their shoulder into the fountain. (Before leaving the square be sure to look at the church of Santi Vincenzo ed Anastasio.
Cardinal Mazarin commissioned Martino Longhi the Younger to design the ornate Baroque façade, which was built between 1641 and 1650.)
