Crowds throng the Spanish Steps
A Working Trip to Rome, Italy - 10th September 1999
Nosher's in Italy to take part in a meeting of the EU's DG XIII GALA project - Global Access to Local something or other - which Suffolk County Council is part of, with its Traveline on-line booking system. Nosher nearly misses the meeting on account of deciding to walk, but it's a humid day and further than it looked on the map, so after ending up down a random street with the smell of tomato plants in the air, it's time for a taxi to the meeting venue. The meeting itself is only a few hours, so there's plenty of time to explore Rome itself.

Teeming crowds
Like a Frederico Fellini film
A fountain
The Trevi Fountain
Trevi does its thing
Crowds by the Trevi Fountain
Hanging around the Trevi Fountain
Marlene sits upon the wall
A Roman side street
The Forum
Behind the Forum
Behind the Forum again
A Roman gate near the Forum
A woman takes a break in the Palatine
Somewhere up in the Palatine
Purple flowers in the Palatine
Roman ruins
Walking up Palatine Hill
A square somewhere
Trajan's Column
The Colosseum is covered in scaffolding
'Romans' outside the Colosseum
The complicated insides of the Colosseum
Another view inside the Colosseum
Tour groups mill around inside the Colosseum
A street-market stall in a shady spot
Time for a panino and coke at a café
Another fountain
Shafts of light in St. Peter's
The dome of St. Peter's Basillica
A crowd of chairs in St. Peter's
The nave of St Peter's
Painted frescos in St. Peter's
An altar
More shafts of light in St. Peter's
St. Peter's
A fountain in St Peter's Square, Vatican
St. Peter's Square
Columns around St. Peter's Square
Another view of the Spanish Steps
A last view of the Eternal City
