    • Rome has an obsession with guys on horses. See how many you can find in Rome.

    This Guy on a Horse is in the middle of the piazza by the Capitolini Museum.

    Local Customs: Miming the mime

    • Rome - Mimes at Piazza Navona, Rome
  • Mimes at Piazza Navona, Rome
  • by karenincalifornia

    • You'll find a number of creative mimes at the Piazza Navona in the evening. They were capable of standing for hours on a pedestal in their costumes, and the only movement they would make would be the blink of an eye.

    My favorite mime was a businessman running through the plaza. We saw him there every night. He was always in the same position, with a smile frozen on his face, one foot extended, one behind him, one hand extended, one carrying a briefcase. Even his jacket was rigged with wires to make it look like it was flying in the wind.

    My son took this photo of my husband and me with the mime. So, how did we do? Do we make good mimes?

    • It's well known that Italians use their hands a lot while speaking. Spend a few days in Rome, and you, too, will be speaking with your hands. Especially if you are presented with a delicious bowlful of Mediterranean mussels.

    • If you eat lunch at a sidewalk trattoria, chances are you'll be serenaded by street musicians playing all sorts of odd looking instruments.

    This guy auditioned for American Idol but sadly, did not make the final 24.

     Great advice, but . . . if there's one thing I'm not, it's an early riser! So either I'll have to turn my life on its head or find some other way to see all these great things in your tips.    		Pawtuxet Wed Feb 28, 2007 15:11 UTC
     You've done an excellent job on your Rome page! Thank you for helping me remember so many wonderful things. Love your cover photo.

     Outstanding first picture. Revisited your Rome page now with tips and many fine photos in place. It really was like a virtual revisit for me. I really liked your early morning pictures. bob
