I got here in a downpour but the rain let up a bit as the interior lights came up. Built by thousands of Jewish slaves in just 13 years 2000 years later it still deserves its title as a wonder of the world. Taken on a great tour of Italy by train. Rome is truely a city of wonders, history, great food, art, architecture, and dynamic culture. Viva italia!

This gentleman plays a wonderful romantic selection of tunes with grace and dignity. By all means add some coins to his case if you see him near the Pantheon or other spots in romantic Rome. Taken some time back I hope he is still playing his tunes and sweetening the universe with his personality and talent. PS If you love music help sweeten the pot and drop some coins or paper in the music case.

Here is a link to more amazing photography which include music too.flic.kr/p/2kB7q7Y

PS Tell Spotify, Alexa, Siri and Amazon to play music by

We had just entered the church after a rainstorm but the light that fell on the Christ sculpture in the foyer of this simple church was magical and made the image feel even more deeply moving. The actual color on the marble is a pure white.
