At the Altare della Patria

This is Altare della Patria one rainy night in Rome, it is like Altar of the Fatherland. It is also called Monumento Nazionale Vittorio Emanuele II.

It is a big monument of the former king Vittorio Emanuele and you can find it at Piazza Venezia.

On my late night walk I also took this photo of some of all the amazing runis of old Rome that you can find everywhere.

Some more pics from Rome this year in early january. Cold and rainy but still beautiful

Here is a chestnut vendor that sells his roasted treats in a corner of Via del Corso.

It still was a sense of Christmas in Rome, you see the decorations here.

And this is Piazza Di Spagna, the beautiful Spansh steps. Complete with a Christmas tree and all.

A night in Rome

Just returned from two nights in Rome. The eternal city, the capital of Italy and just an amazing place to see.

In the 80:s I used to live in Rome, and I still have friends there and I know my way around. But I love to revisit all the exiting sights.

And even if it was really bad weather, a rain storm we (my Italian girlfriend and I) took a walk along the streets of Rome at night.

And this is the eternal Pantheon as you all can see, in the rain.

This is the view from my hotel window, in the morning, with a clear sky, the same day I left....
