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.

Chestnuts for sale

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....

In Rome

Some month ago I was in Rome in Italy for a day, it is a incredible city. I have been living the in the 80:s and then I had plenty of time to understand it, because it is not lika any city really. In every corner almost you can find a historic monument or building. It take some time to really get to know it.



But the you also have the modern city, the one changing year by year. But not this, the Spanish Steps at  Piazza di Spagna. Always filled with turists.


Then I cant just leave out this wonderful island of Capri. One ofe the most beautiful places on earth.
Read more about Capri here in a earlier blog entry:

Nice place to stay in Rome

This in not what I normally do here at my site, but I love to travel and I was in Rome some month ago. I was at a trip in the middle of the country, as I have told you about before. I was looking at a house to buy but turned out to be a ruin. Here you see Monumento Vittorio Emanuele.



When I was in Italy, in Rome, I stayed at this place, Hotel Capitolium - Town House Suite in Via Montebello 104. Just close to the station, Stazione Termini. I paid just 55 euro a night for a very nice double room.


Comfy bed, a nice shower room and some sweets and slippers on your pillow.
