Trastevere: a walk in the morning, a walk in the evening!



Trastevere.....charming neighborhood of Rome....quiet in the morning.....so alive in the evening. Nice to take pictures of its corners and details on a sunny april morning and on a good evening out with friends!




And before starting the "giro": a good cappuccino and cornetto at this little local bar






Vespa! the most popular motorbyke in Italy, best way to get around in Rome

March sunny Sunday


A sunny March Sunday in Rome. Nice weather for going for a walk in town, through Villa Borghese and its Pincio terrace, down to Spanish Steps and Piazza Navona.  Just a few shots to keep my blog updated, not posting much lately....hope to do better in the future...


Love in the Eternal City





Well....the guy on the left realized that I was taking a picture of the three of them....just when I was shooting.......despite me trying to be discreet! 





Always nice to meet street musicians in Villa Borghese





Love this old Fiat 500!!!





Some more street music





Unusual sight






Relaxing sight





Roman Michael Jackson





The painter comes to town

November walk

Back from Barcelona after one month there...time to go for a walk in town even if the weather is not so good and the colours quite greyish....which I quite like! Love Rome in this time of the year...



It's getting dark on the Tiber





Beautiful hues at piazza Campo dei fiori





.... and at piazza Navona. 






Just for fun, myself trying the Harley Davidson of a friend near piazza Navona




As usual in piazza Navona......painters doing portraits and people stopping by, curious to see how the work is proceeding




..... famous people!!! Remember the 1953 movie  "Roman Holiday"?.....




Seagull in piazza Navona fountain!!





.... detail of the Four Rivers Fountain in piazza Navona




Time to stop for a Cappuccino in the surroundings





....and maybe start thinking of having lunch?
