Of course, not all the churches of Rome are Roman Catholic in denomination. One such is the Chiesa di Cristo on Via Sannio which I walked by in August 2022. Whether we ever see its interior remains to be seen, but you can read something of it on its website.

Day Four started with something seasonal at Torre del Parco.
With light and shade.
Something looking up.
With light, but most shade.
Increasing light.
With a special detail on focus.
A monumental doorway.
With some blue.
And to end, some more, with detail galore.

Day Three in Lecce opened under this sky.
Some details.
And more.
The entrance to Palazzo Vernazza.
With a view of the Palace through the entrance gate.
The monarch – and the family – which is inescapable.
With something familial with which to end.

The concluding despatch about Santa Maria della Quercia. We’re still in the cloister.
Then some interior shots.
And some setting shots.

After all that, I asked The Roman how many points they would give the place. They responded, ‘ma ch’era?’ Welcome to Rome.

We’re still at that memorial on Liberty Square.
With other things captured around it, including the memorial to the 1848 revolutionaries.
Which stands in front of Exchange Palace, the former home of the Stock Exchange.
More of the Memorial of Victims of German Occupation.
Some cladding.
With a fountain.
And some detail.
With more and more following.
Some street art.
And something of the night.

Day Six in Budapest saw us visit a couple of cemeteries, both previously blogged about. On the way to one of them, we came across this sign. A useful thing to have, no?
And a reminder of the flood of 1838.
Some detail.
A statue of Ronald Reagan, on Liberty Square.
Some realia.
A statue of George Bush.

The great The Eternal Traveller blog has a feature which recurs: A Loo With a View. And what better venue than The Eternal City for me to share ‘A Loo With a View – expressed’ despatch?
During my April pilgrimage to Verano, I paused for a moment to record this facility.
To paraphrase the late Elaine Stritch about showbusiness, ‘you’ve gotta love Rome, and all the wonderful people in it’.

We’re still in the interior of Santa Maria. Given what we saw, we assume (relatively) substantial works are happening.
.jpg)
.jpg)
Santa Maria seen, some greens.
And another place of worship, alas closed.
Street art, we assume of local troupers.
Sala Nardini, a cultural venue.
Column and clock.
A glimpse of some things we see in more depth below.
Another sadly closed place of worship.
.jpg)
Some interpretation, in art form.
A tribute to Federico Fellini.
What stories could be told if those who had been resident behind this door told us them?
Church in close-up.
More interpretation.
Did we mention interpretation?
And with that we say goodbye to Capranica once more. Here’s to another return.

When in Rome...
