Good day everybody!
Have you ever been to Roma? Just like me you must have been seduced by this dynamic and joyful capital. My eyes, through the lens of my camera, fixed upon this open-air museum. Here is Roma outlined through 10 pictures.
Forum
The ruins of the antic period of Roma.It is just enough preserved to feel the atmosphere of this age
Tradition and modernity
This picture symbolise to me the duality between the strong Catholicism of Roma and and an aspect more modern of people
When History meet the present
Roma is rich of a large heritage and it's a city that have been in the center of Europe History. Now, millions of people come from all around the world to discover the History and consequently, link with it
Pizza
You can't be in Italy and not try pizza. Interesting fact: Originally, pizza is a meal for poor. At the end of the day or the week, people used to have not much left to eat. They baked a dough (flour+water that's quite easy) and put left overs on the top of it. That's how is born pizza!
Pantheon
That's the dome of the Pantheon, an emblematic building. It was a temple but have been reconverted in a church. It is a huge construction, very ingenious for this time! You can easily recognize this building by its oculus, an open circle on the top of the dome and by the way the only source of light
Spiral
The stairs of the Vatican's Museum are a perfect subject of photography. This museum present a rich collection of art. It is also the access to the famous Sistine Chapel
Pieta
I have been absolutely amazed by this sculpture of Michelangelo. The picture is not great due to lack of light and the incredible amount of people present in the church when I was there. Pushed by people, it is difficult to focus properly. A good reason to visit the beauty of art by yourself. It in in the Basilica San Pietro (Vatican) and it represent the Virgen Mary holding the body of his son Jesus after his crucifixion.
A Roman life
I love the architecture of the town, the colours of the houses, and the general delicate touch of Roman people
Art in Piazza Navona
The Navona Square is like a little Montmartre, full of life and artists.
Fountain
Roma is full of magnificent fountains. Trevi is probably the most famous of all the Roman fountains. This picture is just a funny detail of on of the numerous fountains I have seen when I was there.
great pictures!
Thank you @jwolf
you missed a photo with coloseum
Right! But when I was there it was partially in renovation so my shots were not great.
Nice pictures, captured some nice images. I will have to visit there myself one day
Absolutely! It is worth it.
