    • It is very nice Fountain, in my opinion one of the most beautiful fountains in the whole Rome.

    It was projected by Giacomo della Porta but it was built in years 1581- 1588 with the help of Taddeo Landini who did the sculptures of the boys. Almost 100 years later unknown artist did the sculpures of the turtles.

  • Area of Ghetto in Rome.
  • by chiara76
  • Send Photo to a Friend
    • Very interesting place for walk.
    There are a lot of really old houses there and there is an unique atmosphere there.
    There are the shops with the kosher products and the shop with interesting stuff.
    You can find medieval buildings in the area of Ghetto.
    The Ghetto in Rome was created in 1555 year by the Pope Paul IV and Jews was forced to move in this area in July,1556.
    It finished in year 1870 when the king Victor Emanuel gave the Jews full citizenship.

    There have been still a lot of Jews living in the neighbourhood.

  • People from Trastevere...
  • by chiara76

    • They even didn't know we had took a photo of them. They are like a sign of this special city, it is like a symbol of power and calmness you can feel there, maybe not in the centre where a lot of tourists are but for example in the place of this picture. I mean Trastevere.
    I really like these old people ...

     I enjoyed visiting your pages on Rome once again, Maria. You brought all those memories back again...it's such a magnificent city!    		betako3 Mon Dec 17, 2007 01:09 UTC
     Ha! So I'm not the only peron travelling south to escape the lousy Polish weather :) I envy you the sun in your Forum Romanum picture. I went there at dusk on a cold winter day, and guess who I met there? Andrew Lepper in person. Unbelievable!
