Photos from the city of Rome, Italy. Two contrasting days - for the first visit in January 2006 it rained heavily all day, but the Pantheon was impressive! The second visit, again just a day, was in March 2018 and the sun shone as, after starting the day in Naples, I covered about 10 miles on foot properly discoving the impressive city that was largely hidden from me on my first visit.
