Today I won't talk about Sydney for once :)
I know it has been a while I'm not updating my blog, but honestly I was not really in the mood and I have decided not to do anything against my mood any longer ;)
SO.... A MONTH LATER... HERE I AM!
It's the turn of Rome, the eternal city. This time I'm not alone, I'm with Patrizio, a friend of mine who is here for work... while I'm chilling :)
It's about all the places I have been and which chapter of my personal travel they represent.
I believe that everytime we decide to start a journey there is always something we want to demonstrate to ourselves. And it works like this for everyone.
So going back... last March Pat and I had a nice walk to the Gianicolo and - on a cloudy day - it looked funny we both found this sentence quite perfect for us:
"This is the Rome that distracts from the bad days"
Up to the hill we found the Tempietto of Bramante, a hidden treasure.
By walking around it, it's possible to descend a tiny and tight staircase into its base, and see the altar with its traditional upside-down cross, the cross of St. Peter.
You can see the Tempietto anytime by peering through the gate, but of course if you get the chance to walk in it's much better to have a look from the inside.
The Church was built where Peter was thought to have been martyred. The shape is circular, a beloved form in the Renaissance.
A true jewel of the "Eternal city" that does distract from the bad days.
Well, it's still not all for today! But I need to go... see ya!

Why not Sydney today? Simply because my journal is a travel to the hidden selves of all the cities I've visited.
