The trevi fountain, the crowds were gathered like they were expecting to see the pope....
He was to be found elsewhere
It was a bizarre spectacle, with people actually screaming and running forward when he got out of his pope mobile and started the chanting stuff. Also, amusing was the sizeable portion of the crowd who abandoned the squre at this point, presumably to go and do what they came to do, which was to take in the vast vatican art collection.
The most humiliating uniform ever designed?
The shops were well stocked with creepy babies
but happily more were stocked with pretty shoes. The vast numbers of designer shops was quite astonishing, oddly (unlike here) a walk along a street could see cheapo clothes shops sanwched between high end designer shops. All very ecclectic. A ver fashion conscious city. Or vain. Or image conscious, the women (the younger ones at least) were all imaculately turned out, pint sizes, size 8 cute little dollies
They don't tuck their artwork away behind glass
