lived in Rome 1984-85 ( i was a butler for a reclusive Duke ) ... then went home to Sydney to meet a Roman to whom i have been with ever since. and of course visited there many many times ... thanks as always for the little memory
"there are few cities in the world better at rewarding curious wandering without a map or guidebook" This reminded me of the time we were wandering around Rome with our 3 young kids. We came across a small church with a large queue, which my kids happily joined. Inside, the church had not one, but 3 large Caravaggio paintings inside...a wonderful surprise!

I have sympathy with Sabrina and feel you should return to Rome forthwith and HIRE A BLOODY VESPA!!
😁
The perfect commercial for Rome. A city of happiness in black and white with a contented full stomach.
Thank you, Dave. Fascinated to hear more about the reclusive duke!
Very evocative writing
Just as well it wasn't La Dolce Vita Sabrina watched or she would have been gavorting in that fountain!
I’m traveling through Italy now and look forward to trying this recipe.
All pastas are delicious as long as there are no olives!!!!
