So i just finished an exhausting journey from Rome to Florence , and I have to admit my 5 days in Rome were one of the best I spent in Italy. Our hotel was in the heart of the city and we got to explore campo de fiore and piazza Navona by ourselves almost daily. The atmosphere of Rome , old meets new, was so unique that I want to return. Although my favorite aspect of Rome was Bernini. I am a devout Bernini fanatic and if you don't see a sculpture by Bernini while visiting Rome you are missing out. The four rivers fountain in piazza Navona is mesmerizing and the various sculptures in the borghese gardens are one if a kind. The way that Bernini captures movement is so unique and beautiful it leaves you with a sense of peace.
The food in Rome is delicious as I expected. The gelato was even better, I think I ate my weight in gelato now.
On our last day in Rome professor rutigliano joined us for the remainder for the trip, and I he believes in fast walking and talking and learning. Tomorrow should bring some surprises. Picture to come soon. Ciao!
