Passing through Piazza del Campidoglio we saw this man reading his newspaper. When I returned the next day, he was there again, on the same step, reading his paper. It struck me as very Roman. I’m betting if you were to go there on just about any morning he would be perched on these steps enjoying the weather and catching up on the latest news.

Inside Saint Ignazio’s
If you are ever in Rome I recommend visiting Saint Iganzio’s Church. From the outside it doesn’t look very exciting but once you walk through the door you will be amazed. I’m sure some art history buffs will argue but I thought the ceiling was better than the Sistine Chapel’s and there was no waiting in line and no admission. What you can’t see in the picture is all of the amazing sculpture that decorates both sides of the church.
The lighting in these churches ranges from very dark to extremely bright. To create this image I had to blend 5 different exposures together.
