  • We found this gentlemen in a singular protest against some great injustice. He must have felt strongly because it was extremely hot in the Piazza. Note the sign on his lap and the paper crown on his head. What you can't see is the two guards with automatic weapons at the gate of the building he was facing.

     Largo di Torre Argentina. This should be the name of the "cat snctuary" in Rome. Ciao!

     Your comments about pickpockets were really funny. Thanks for telling another side of the story.

     Last time I was here for 2 days. Slept thru a Sat night dressed in my party clothes. Went to mass at Santo Pietro & had money to burn but nowhere to spend on Sunday. So true about pickpockets. Had Drunken Master moves ready but didn't need em. Great page!
