August in Rome

From the Pincio gardens, a paradise for tourists....and romans of course!

Love in the eternal city....

Selling hats to shelter from the strong roman sunshine

....and why not...an ice-cream!

Along the Tiber

Rough river waters today!

Film exhibition along the Tiber during this month

What a view from this restaurant above Spanish steps...

Piazza Navona

Red and green at piazza Farnese

Quite unusual in Rome to see street musicians. Piazza Navona

Clouds above piazza Farnese

The red shoes

Just loved this green door

One of the two fountains in piazza Farnese.....

Outside the ice-cream shop, Gelateria ai tre Archi, via dei Coronari, near piazza Navona

The green water of Piazza Farnese fountain.....

.....and its reflections

A walk through Villa Borghese

Just a few  pictures taken at Villa Borghese on a cloudy afternoon of the end of July. Details of stone and snap shots of people strolling around in this beautiful park.  Some of the photos have been taken in black and white for a touch of vintage! Hope you like them!

"From Russia with love"!  Nice group of tourists on the typical Villa Borghese rickshaw!

June sunny Sunday

After days of rain and autumn temperatures, quite unusual here in Rome at this time of the year, finally a sunny sunday! Took the chance of going out and testing my new camera around piazza Navona, my favourite!! 

La bella turista spagnola...

..... e la russa!!

...e l'italiano!!

Relaxing reading 

Cute little girl!

The old lady's romantic parasol

The hand of the artist....

"La siesta"!

The portrait watching you!

The elegant painter and her hat

....lost in Rome!

...and here comes a lady with her byke...take a look at the next picture to see what she sells!

..... cardboard drawings!!!!

Children love this fountain!

...and love to drink from small ones scattered allover the city!

....and  here is Sophia Loren tasting pasta!! Photo on the wall of a small restaurant just behind piazza Navona, "Cantina e cucina", where I usually stop to have something to eat when in town!
