'Rome says enough' It isn't always sunshine and gelato in the eternal city. Every day tour guides try to show visitors what an incredible city this is, but even I will confess, sometimes it's a bit of an uphill struggle. theguardian.com/world/2019/apr…

Why lingering in a city can be rewarding. All the more excuse to stay in Rome longer! digitaledition.telegraph.co.uk/node/643913

Roadside shrines have been part of Roman life for thousands of years. These days images of the emperor have been replaced with images of the Virgin Mary. This one on Via dei Coronari is rather famous for being designed by the great architect Sangallo the Younger.

Does being Italian at heart count? Unfortunately not, also my blood is about as British as it gets! But maybe you qualify for Italian citizenship...?

Sometimes black and white just works! Walked past the Temple of Portunus today, the temple dedicated to the god of doors - yes, they had a god for everything!

April Fools Day in Italy is called the April Fish Day. And no that is not an April Fools Day joke! italymagazine.com/featured-story…

The Borgia apartments at the Vatican were richly decorated by Pinturicchio. One of the frescoes, known as The Disputation of St Catherine, features the Pope's blonde-haired daughter Lucrezia Borgia as the saint herself wearing blue robes.

Well this is just brilliant. Cicero was an skilful ancient Roman orator, who started his speech against the conspirator Catiline with this sentence. It seem he is even relevant in Brexit! 'How long Theresa May will you go on abusing our patience?'

A short train ride away from Rome the town of Orvieto makes for a perfect day trip! This perfectly sized town offers enough to keep you occupied for a day, or even two if you want to stay overnight. The highlight? Of course, Orvieto's picture perfect Duomo.

Don't forget to look up. The ceilings of Roman churches are so stunningly beautiful you end up with neck ache! Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of my favourites.

Those following my Instagram will know I'm a huge fan of Rome's madonelle, little shrines usually depicting the Madonna situated on street corners. Like everything in Rome they have history! italoamericano.org/story/2018-3-6…
