Third excursion in Rome for readers "Italy for me"

Our third meeting with the readers was finally marked by 100% turnout, since absolutely all the signatories and even one unplanned black cat who was waiting for us near the Coliseum appeared on it.

Our team of lovers in Rome again turned out to be international: Maria, Peter and Julia flew to Italy from the glorious city of Yaroslavl, and Tatyana turned out to be my compatriot from the hero city of Minsk.

Meeting with readers May 22, 2014: Tatyana, Yana Yakutsevich (editor-in-chief of “Italy for me”), Maria, Peter and Julia at the Roman Forum.

Having admired the capitol hill and its sights, we set off on the Argentina torr to visit Roman cats.

Yes, this is where all the cats live in Rome, and it should be noted that they feel great here, since most of them did not bother us with the attention of our lenses.

On the way from the Pantheon to Pincho Hill, we looked into the Pinocchio store, which I recently told you about.

And how can you fit in such small cars?

At the end of our walk, we reached the Pincho hill, which offers the best view of Rome!

In the park Villa Borghese you can not only hide from tourists and gifts, but also take pictures with monuments to your favorite writers. There is something unusual in coming to distant lands and discovering Pushkin and Gogol here.

Review by Julia: “One of the first impressions of Rome was an amazing thing - the crowd and tourists didn’t annoy me there, as it usually happens in other places. This is not the crowd that is in the Moscow and St. Petersburg metro. They, it seems, are also late for work in the morning ... but no one is soared about this. Well late and late ... Well, later they will arrive. Well, do not run, running, Chesslovo, stepping on the feet of inexperienced tourists)) And then I just started to feel dizzy: this contrast to the metropolitan monumentality of the main streets (everything is absolutely harmonious in architecture and space !!) and complete peace, it’s only worth a little turn off, and these women in high heels on motorcycles, and nuns on bicycles, and men who ran away from model houses, prohibitively loud conversations everywhere (thank you for not understanding what!), fine coffee at the counter, some old doors incredible beauty, myriad uli GOVERNMENTAL cafe with hung above them linens - and everything sucked ... "

Reviewed by Tatyana: “To see Rome at 7 in the morning was unusual and very touching to say ... you go to the Colosseum, and there you’re not a soul, it’s just incredible ... the sun just starts to warm slightly ... and then two sunny, kind people Jan and Arthur appear. I will say right away that the idea of ​​conducting a tour so early, was very interesting to me in itself, and I realized that these were people who were open to new and unknown places in our beautiful World. Arthur is a very well-read and knowledgeable young man who shares the most outstanding facts about Rome, and it was a great pleasure to listen to him. Yana surprised me with her openness and kindness. The guys were ready to answer any questions ... and are patient with our curiosity. What to say about Rome ... the eternal city in the morning ... it is a special atmosphere when there is nobody on the street. Tourists are still sleeping, the Romans themselves are going to work, in a word you and Rome, what could be better! Therefore, a huge gratitude to "Italy for me" for a unique positive experience. Thank."
