Italy

My usual day in the right Rome is July 13, 2014

Today I want to share with you, dear readers, a photo report about my one day in Rome. The capital of Italy can be both loved and hated. Your attitude will largely depend on the time of day and the places that you are lucky to visit. In our group on Facebook, as well as on Instagram, we often inspire you to take morning walks and have repeatedly proved that the Colosseum and any other attraction of Rome can be easily found with almost no tourists.

I hope this series of photographs brings you even closer to the “right” Rome. So, this story is about my Rome on July 13, 2014.

Duty and conscience calls me to get up with the first rays of the sun before my clients - couples in love from around the world who come to Italy before or after the wedding, and sometimes just on the anniversary of a relationship or birthday. I am convinced that only at this time can you truly enjoy the city and take beautiful pictures. On my official website jakutsevich.ru you will find more photos and ideas for walks at dawn, and not only in Italy. But today my story is not about lovers, but about love for Rome.
Most often, we meet friends and clients at the Arch of Constantine near the Coliseum. Literally in early July, she was finally freed from scaffolding.

This is usually what the square looks like at the main Roman attraction at 6.30-7.00 a.m. All mass excursions begin at 8.30-9.00, and until that time he is not interested in most. That is why we set up our meetings with readers so early.

This morning I walked with Holi and Jordan, who flew to Rome from the United States six months before the wedding. Those who are interested can see a large photo report and a story about the guys.

On this day, according to all forecasts, even in the iPhone, weather forecasters promised heavy rains.

Of course, I don’t like to get wet, but as a photographer I just love such light and clouds. Moreover, any rain tends to end, and in Rome they usually pour not for long, but “like a bucket”. In any case, you can always pass the time in one of the many cafes for a cup of Italian cappuccino.

A minute after the picture was taken above, it was poured from the same bucket, and we jumped in a taxi and moved to the castle of St. Angel. Then I had to wait 20 minutes under a canopy.

And, as usual, the clouds quickly dispersed.

Already at 8 in the morning on the way to the Vatican you can meet at least a couple of tourists, but apparently everyone preferred to sleep an extra hour that day or were afraid to get a little wet.

We admired the embankment and decided to go down to the river.

A walk along the Tiber embankment is not as rich in views as, for example, in Prague or Paris, more often here you can meet cyclists or joggers. Oh yes, and this is one of the few places where you can find a bike path, great - it's not about Rome.

Someone whom, and gulls can be found in any weather.

The bridge of Umberto I - the second king of Italy.

On the way to the Pantheon, an incredibly beautiful light was waiting for us. The morning sun reflected off the wet paving stones and illuminated the entire street.

Before the Pantheon, only we and the lonely seller of umbrellas, which in the afternoon turns into a seller of water or scarves.

Near the Pantheon is the church of Sant'Ignazio (Sant'Ignazio di Loyola a Campo Marzio). We advise everyone to drop in and admire the incredibly beautiful painting of the famous Andrea Pozzo, which creates the illusion of a dome, although the ceiling is flat.

In the early morning after rain, even the central streets are completely deserted.

How do you like this Via del Corso without hundreds of shopaholic tourists?

And the most glamorous Via Condotti leading to the Spanish Steps.

We headed towards the Piazza del Popolo.

Here we met several bored workers dismantling fences after a recent concert.

The ultimate goal of our morning walk was Pincho Hill and one of the most beautiful Roman parks of Villa Borghese. It is from here that one of the best free views of the panorama of Rome opens. This is where hundreds of tourists flock in the afternoon. In the distance you can see the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, as you can see at 9 in the morning there are not many who want to enjoy the panoramas of the Eternal City. And rightly so in the morning there is no such suffocating heat that everyone adores so much in July-August, and it is boring to one.

View of the public square.

It was here that we met with Mom and the Holi brothers to conduct a small family photo shoot.

It seems that the Vatican is within reach.

And so proudly rises above the city Altar of the Fatherland located in Venice Square.

You can admire the Roman churches endlessly.

What morning without coffee? - you ask and you will be absolutely right.

The mood of our entire delegation is cheerful and positive, and life with a chocolate croissant was a success!

The chief editor of ITALY FOR ME, Yana Yakutsevich, is always glad to join us.

Our whole walk took about 4 hours and we were a little tired, but, impressed by the beauties we saw, went on a well-deserved rest in order to meet in the evening in one of the most atmospheric areas of Rome Trastevere. Surprisingly, many tourists still have not heard or ignore this gastronomic paradise - you will not find such a concentration of bars and restaurants anywhere else in Rome.

This evening was especially deserted, since most tourists were chained to the TV screens in bars - they showed the finals of the World Cup in Brazil.

The bars themselves are very small and sitting inside is not particularly accepted, so most of the fans hang out on the street.

We, having turned into one of the dozens of lanes, enjoy such beauty here.

Another bar

It is in this format that most Italians spend their evenings if they want to chat and have a drink. Sitting inside and having a feast for the whole world is not particularly accepted. More often than not, everyone stands with glasses on the street next to the bar and after drinking a glass they advance to the next establishment.

All the bars on Trastevere you still can not get around.

That was my one day in “right Rome.” As you can see, neither tasty nor inexpensive to have breakfast and dinner, and also to comfortably enjoy the most popular places and sights, no one bothered us. Such a Rome can be loved and in such a Rome you can fall in love for life!

We should not perceive language as a dictionary, a list of grammatical rules, structures, although this of course takes place and it is difficult to do without it. Nevertheless, all this can be reduced to an absolutely working minimum. Well, it would seem - words. There are thousands and thousands of words in every language, but there are statistics that say that 90 percent of spoken language in any language is in 300-400 words.
