Last day,Promenade at Parco della Vialla Borghese and then Good bye Rome












Promenade










Promenade








İt was my last day in Rome
i was just sad to leave
i decided that day to walk
just like that,no plans just walk
i went for a coffee and pastries at Cafe Greco
then went for a long walk through via del corso,Piazza del Popolo and the Parco della Villa Borghese
i accidentally arrived to the Zoo and decided to have a look

Roma






a fast stop at the Vatican


A wonderful lunch break after Vaticano,we were walking no taxis were available,going back to the centro historico we found a tiny resaturant on Via Giulia next to the Santa Maria del Suffragio church.


We shared some white beans on olive oil with tomatoes and rosemary and a pizza with anchovies
Miam!


Column of Marcus Aurelius



and of course after food comes a long promenade

Piazza Mattei





Piazza Mattei:
in Ghetto,the Jewish area of Rome,there's this little square called Piazza Mattei
The Mattei family lived in a palace near the square
The turtle fountain was commissioned by the Mattei family around 1581.
i think it's beautiful,and so poetic!
