Throwback Thursday: Dreaming of Rome, Italy!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

I woke up this morning thinking I was in Rome, Italy.  Ron and I were walking on the Via Condotti and marveling at the beautiful stores and their displays.

 

As we zig and zagged through the crowds and various streets, we ended up at the Piazza di Popolo, pictured above. Just like Paris, Rome has an obelisk that was brought in 10BC by Emperor Augustus.

 

Piazza del Popolo is a large urban square in Rome. The name in modern Italian literally means "People's Square", but historically it derives from the poplars after which the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, in the northeast corner of the piazza, takes its name.Wikipedia

Piazza Navona was our favorite to dine in while walking the streets of Rome. We truly enjoyed Rome too, but so far Firenze is our favorite in Italy...but I need to get to the Amalfi Coast before I declare an absolute favorite

Hi Ron and A... the commentator for the travel videos I watched last night said that Rome is the greatest city in the world. Would you agree?

Beth Atalay I feel the same way. We are planning a trip to Europe for next spring, and my niece is presently in London.  It seems that everyone there is more relaxed and less restricted about masks which are only required on trains, busses and planes.  A

Maria Gilda Racelis I have so many greats from different places, that I would rather say, it is very special place to be.  What I treasure about Rome is the integration of old with new, and somehow it all works as a whole.  A

Thomas J. Nelson, REALTOR ® e-Pro CRS RCS-D Vets We have loved everywhere we have been in Italy...We enjoyed the Amalfi coast, Sicily, Sardinia, and we need to get to the Aeolian Islands also.  Florence is still a favorite, I lost count how many times we were there.  A

Jerry Newman I was reluctant to wake up, until I thought how crowded it was and the words "social distance" came to mind. LOL A

Well, were you disappointed to find yourself still in Santa Barbara? I'm guessing not for long, if at all. :)
