I would like to present to you my #Apollo nicknamed #theSpider. He is the god of sun, #arts, especially #poetry. He lives in the #atmosphereOfEarth above #Rome. He is also our bridge to the moon as #mystery. I'm proud to present my #Cavicchioni #artPiece! The #consolatory and #inspiring power of art is pure magic!
@martacavicchioni_illustrator made this walrus for me and it's part of her series of #antitrophies. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can spot one of her works also just walking around Rome!

Begins a series of photos of #fantasyAnimals from #Rome. We start with two examples of a new special species. I know you were expecting I would talk about the #shewolf that suckled #Romulus and #Remus! But city #guides joined the party! And now I can show many of these #fairybeing as insider!

There is a renaissance #castle, there is a medieval #hamlet, a lot of pots with flowers everywhere, the small picturesque houses wear suggestive time scars, there is also a church with the name of a saint that for sure you never heard before: #SantAurea. There are of course #Pine trees, climbing plants and #fortified #Walls and an old lady with a sweet smile controls that everything is fine: it seems it has been part of the scene for #centuries!

Following the #ReginaCiclarum that goes along the #TiberRiver, north-east from #Rome you will find the #riservanaturalenazzanoteverefarfa. It's the first regional #protectedArea of #Lazio (i.e. Rome region), established in 1979, and protects an extensive #wetlandArea, the so-called "#lakeOfNazzano", formed following the construction of a dam on the #Tiber in its middle course. After more than a quarter of a century, the vegetation has adapted to the changed environmental conditions and the #protectionRegime has done the rest. Today this is one of the #mostInterestingSites in #centralItaly for #birdwatching and observation of the fascinating and little known world of the #swamp. @parchilazio

#ItalianWines from our #Rome region (i.e. Latium which means wide; imagine how many wonderful wine types we produce), this is a #kosher one made in #Terracina from #Trebbiano and #Malvasia #Grapes in @cantinasantandrea, one of the best #wineProducers we have. It's name is #Mevushal #Lazio #IGT. #KosherWines are natural wines produced only by observant #Jews following the #ancientTestament procedure and certified by a #rabbi. You might know already that we have in Rome the #mostAncient #Jewish community outside #Israel territories. How nice to travel thousands years and thousands traditions staying in one place and feeling that all belong a bit to you also!

Known as the #SquaredColosseum for the sequence of #arches that recalls the #ancient #anphiteatre, the Palace of #ItalianCivilization for its #monumentality is considered one of the symbols of #EUR and the #architecturalIcon of the #Roman #20thcentury. It was build to host the temporary #ArtShow at the Universal Exhibition of Rome of 1942, with the idea of a stable #museum afterwards. Today the building houses the headquarters of the Maison @fendi and it is often open to the public.

#SanPaul was from a #Jewish family but he was born in Tarsus in the province of #Rome, Cilicia. #Tarsus was a declared #freeCity by the #RomanEmpire. Being a #freeCitizen would give you a lot of #provileges, among others it would allow you to #vote, be #elected, own #propriety and prevent to be tortured or #condemned. The only exception was #treason. This picture was taken the day before yesterday in front of the #BasilicadeiSanti #PietroePaolo in E.U.R. The #statue was realised by #FrancescoNagni.

#SpanishSteps #twoYearsAgo when you could still #seatDown and enjoy the view: #seeing and #beingseen, a real theater stage this monumental #staircase, the living room of Rome where you could socialize in different languages and enjoy the beauty. It has been the heart of the so-called #EnglishGhetto during the centuries of the #GranTour, next store the English #romanticPoet #JohnKeats died, two English ladies opened a successful #teaRoom and a #GreekPainter, #GiorgioDeChirico founded the #metafisica #ArtMovement
