There is so much to love in Rome. The city exceeded every one of my expectations, surprising me with unexpected beauty around every corner and at the bottom of every hill. I was particularly enamoured with the way the modern and ancient harmoniously co-exist in the city, from the baroque beauty of the Trevi Fountain to the crumbling opulence of Palatine Hill. Saint Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican was a feast for the eyes, all gold and glitter, punctuated by intricate carvings. The Colosseum and Forum appeal to an entirely different sensibility; a sort of community with history and peoples past. The Temple of the Vestals, dedicated to women, was particularly touching in a place otherwise completed devoted to men. And of course, we can’t forget that Rome is a fashion capital, full of gorgeous architecture, life-size versions of my favourite fall fashion campaigns and even an homage to one of my favourite films. .
Gorgeous photos – Rome is such an amazing city…although the last time I was there all the stray cats made me really sad.
