Rome, Italy “If you have no faith in me, have faith in what you see” (Cinema Paradiso)

  • Welcome to Episode #11 and the Eternal City of Roma.  This is the final chapter of the book share In the Shadow of a Cypress: An Italian Adventure and Season 1 on the podcast A Writer In Italy.  


What a journey it has been.  These last days wandering around Rome from Piazza to Piazza sipping cappuccino and people watching in Piazza della Rotunda were full of delight and spontaneity.  The travelers dream day.  No real destination, just the beauty of turning into a hidden street and discovering the best gelato one has ever tried or a stationary shop to tempt the purchase of just one more journal to write in. 

The day has me wandering across Ponte Sisto to Trastevere in a reverie about life and how it is important to seek and create space for yourself.  I cannot help but reflect on the weeks that have captured something beautiful in Italy.

Stay tuned to the absolute end of this share for details on Season 2 and the next episode to share in 2020, and books and my discoveries of a few Roman treasures of the 21st Century kind.  I do rattle on a little until I decide to just do it and share my inspirations before running off to the school gate.....
