Milano e Roma, darling.
Roma, la città bella! My favorite city in all the world!
We got to go to Midnight Mass at the Vatican back in 1992. Beautiful, but what a nightmare getting to it and out of it afterwards. I don’t think we got to bed until dawn on Christmas day.
One May we went to the Forum right after a thunderstorm struck and cleared out all the tourists. We were the only ones there, and then the sun came out and lit up a rainbow right over the Colosseum. So beautiful! Loved walking down out of the way side steeets and getting some paninni from some little osteria or trattoria for only due/tre mille lira! Went up on the Cupolla at St Peters in the Vatican during a warm Ocrober afternoon... we stayed up there until dusk.
We’ve gotta go back some day!
