Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble…ancient footsteps everywhere… At least that was Bob Dylan’s take on the city. So much history to the place. I’ve always felt cities and specific areas in the world have ruling spiritual authorities over them which tend to define their personality and direct their priorities and activities through the years. Dominance and the quest for worldly power have been the obvious historical theme of the ancient Roman Empire, and with the continuing religious nerve center of the Catholic Church locating in the Vatican City, the beat goes on. Impressions of grandeur and systematic control keep the people connected with ‘something bigger than themselves’ and in awe of their handlers…
Nevertheless, people come and go and leave not just their footprints, but works of artistic expressions everywhere… In addition, these folks know how to make a pretty good pizza!
Here are a few impressions from our recent whirlwind tour…
I'll be out for a few days, but will be posting more pix of Rome on the website next week...
till then,
