MY FIRST TIME IN THE ETERNAL CITY (ROME, ITALY)

Roma, una frazione di eternità.

Fausto Gianfranceschi

When I was a teenager, I had a great fascination for the Italian culture.

Mainly because of Federico Fellini's films, because of its food (especially pizza), its history and its language. After a few years of having studied Italian and having a courtship with a Bella Ragazza, the dream of knowing this country was fulfilled.

The Roman Colosseum, for obvious reasons, was the construction that amazed me the most. From its greatness, the number of tourists who visit it and how small one feels next to such greatness, are emotions that can hardly be narrated.

Just opposite, walking along the Via Sacra,

you reach the via de los Foros Imperiales, an avenue that dates back to the 10th and 11th century B.C. which at the time was not only the economic, political and social center of the city of Rome, but of the entire empire that expanded throughout much of Europe.

In general, throughout the city you will find history on every corner; a monument, a statue, a fountain, a church. It is impossible not to be amazed and even more complicated, it is to resist wanting to photograph its constructions and its ruins.

The rest is history.
