The Roman Forum


We did this attraction on a walking tour, lots of good walking tours are available. Most are conducted in english and wouldn't cost you more then a few euros. Planning to spend a good part of the day here, we packed sandwiches, fruits and drinks for a picnic.






























































 
 
 
 
 
 

Colosseum


The symbol of Rome.






























Trevi Fountain

The Da-Vinci Code fever was sweeping across the globe after the book and blockbuster movie so you can imaging the excitment of tourists visiting Trevi Fountain.















 
 
 

Villa Borghese

What a beautiful quiet place in contrast to the Spanish Steps. I liked it so much I went back many more times to wander around the park.

























Everything is nice

Probably some of the most photographed door, window and courtyard. Everything looks nice despite their age. The aged wooden doors, windows, buildings etc, all well kept and taken care of.
















First impressions


After arriving and checking in to our hotel near the Termini, we headed out for a walk and ended up at Spanish Steps.
















Ciao Italia !

Four major cities, two side trips. We travelled Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan , Siena & Pisa in three weeks. To capture the narrow streets and beautiful church interiors I added the Sigma 10-20, Nikon 50 f1.2 and switched to a D300.
