Thinking of a time between c.1490-1525 when painted facades likely dominated the center of Rome. There are just a few scattered examples of this sgraffito left. This on is on via del Moro in Trastevere.

After a hard week with lots of internal turmoil about what will happen to the world in the next months, it’s so nice to see new communities forming on this app. In thanks for new followers, here are a few peaceful images of Montefiascone, on Lake Bolsena, taken last weekend

While on the Gianicolo last weekend, took the opportunity to visit the Tempietto, which I haven’t had the chance to visit since before the pandemic.

Just finally getting set up here. Lots to say. So little time. So here are some photos I took last week at the convent of SS. Trinità dei Monti: ruin room by 18th-century artist Charles Louis Clérisseau.
