Auguri

Rome, Christmas Day, 2011.

Ending the year on an optimistic note.

On a crisp and clear day I look across Rome from the Gianicolo and see a city to love and respect, a city that deserves more from its residents, visitors and (above all) administrators.  Rome’s problems, like those of Italy, Europe, and the planet, must be solved with intelligence and hard work. No alibis, no excuses, no choice.

The photos below, taken in and around Rome during 2011 remind me of what is great about this place.  Roma, Caput Mundi, Citta’ Aperta, Citta’ Eterna, 2012.
