Postcard from Rome
ice cream in brioche
selfie stickers on famous steps
cobbles
‘Small park with ruins’
pistachio Tiber gurgles thickly
trees like parasols
Aperol spritz, the colour of Irn-bru
‘no, non abbiamo bisogno un ombrello’
Julius Caesar was not an emperor
ecooters – tooters
touristic phalanx following the flag
Eternal City
deep-fried artichoke
Papal tunnels
SPQR on the bins
chain sags with padlocks –
did their love endure?
spaghetti alla carbonara
smallest country in the world
cheese stretched like telephone wire
tumbling fountain conversation
small dogs
soft, sweet vinegar that’s old enough to vote
280 fountains; 900 churches
‘abbiamo biscogno di un ombrello’
