What defines the look of a city isn’t necessarily the greatest monuments, but also what lay between. Whether they are the homes of affluent Romans or the seemingly dilapidated byways of the not-so-affluent, there is a singularity of color and atmosphere that encapsulates this beautiful city. When Bennett and Rita (and Lexi) visited us a year ago, Bennett had an idea to take pictures of windows and doors. I think perhaps this is a great way to understand the people. Do they pride themselves on solitude and privacy? Do they show off their green thumbs? Do they leave their home open to the elements? Or bar themselves in and others out?
Images of yore at the bottom of the Spanish Steps
A majestic Roman street
Quiet cobblestones
Reflections through the water glass
On the way to the Jewish Quarter
Pink arches
Scalinata della Trinita dei Monti in the English Ghetto
