Unfortunately (or fortunately?), on Sunday no car was allowed within the green area, which practically coincides with the entire city. So I wore a comfortable pair of sneakers and...went out.
My Sunday walk included:
a nice breakfast
a view of Saint Peter' s Dome and of the Vatican's pine trees from Via Candia
a booth selling flowers in Viale Giulio Cesare (spring is at the door...)
the river Tiber
an unusually deserted Piazza dei Quiriti and its beautiful fountain (1927-1928), which became immediately famous because its four nude female figures were considered "obscene" at that time
Piazza dell'orologio and its tower, built by Borromini in 1648
and the last movie directed by Mrs. Bigelow.
It was a pity that, as I stepped out of the cinema, the rain was pouring, or I could have walked all the way back home by this amazing mild roman weather.
