Greetings, everyone! I hope you’ve all been having a good November so far. I have successfully organised the photos I’ve took from my adventures in Rome last month, meaning that now it’s the time where I will gladly share them here with you all.
As always, I am happy for you all to take your time to look through the photos I’ve shared here, & reading the descriptions I have given them, since I believe it makes the experience that one will be embarking on more at ease & relaxing. I hope you all enjoy!
The first two photos I’ve took from my time in Rome. They take place on top of a wonderful hotel my brother Telos and I were staying called “Principessa Trevi”. It was accompanied by a great view of the “Quirinal Palace”, which I find to be very admirable.
The room my brother and I have stayed within Principessa Trevi was at the top floor, where we were able to see many intriguing sights. Like seeing a bird being in a “dominance” position on the TV antenna, while an airplane soars through the clear blue skies.
My first adventurous outing in Rome, where I had my first encounter with one of the many amazing ancient structures I’ve witnessed there, being the Trevi Fountain! The photos here show the main building of the fountain within the late afternoon hours.
I didn’t took any photos of the fountain itself just yet, due to being rather crowded at the time of my first encounter. Although I did manage to took a photo of it eventually, which you’ll be seeing later within this thread.
The steps & the walls that are located very close to the Quirinal Palace, and leads the way towards that very place. This area looks especially wonderful within the concluding daylight hours & being accompanied by the beginning of the bright & calm street lights.
My first time witnessing the Quirinal Palace within the night hours. I had to keep a fair distance from the area, because there were police/guards who wish to keep others from coming close due to an important occasion at the time. Thus I have gladly accepted their wish.
A barren alleyway I have encountered during my first night outing within Rome. At first, I thought this area was under an important supervision, since I did saw some police cars quite close to it earlier. But it turned out to be a normal quiet shortcut, which was very nice.
My first encounter with The Colosseum, both within the night hours and from my time in Rome. An admirable sight of the iconic structure that still stands ever so strong to this very day, especially being accompanied by the orange coloured lights that shine beautifully.
One of the ground views of The Colosseum at night. The colour of the lighting here gives it a more comfortable feeling, similar to that of a cozy campfire, which makes the experience all the more relaxing.
My encounter with the “Arch of Constantine”, located by both The Colosseum & an area called Palatine Hill. The largest triumphal arch in Rome, it was fully built within 315 AD where many use to cross through it to celebrate triumphant victories from various battles back then.
I have returned roaming back on the streets of Rome at night, where me and my brother were traversing back to our hotel, while also taking our time to appreciate the night hours of the city. This has been a great first outing.
The first morning I’ve witnessed within Rome, where I looked out of the window from my hotel bedroom and see The Italian Flag standing strong from the Quirinal Palace in the distance, flowing with the wind under the wonderful morning.
I’ve visited the statue of Castor & Pollux with their own horses by the Quirinal Palace. I’ve took a photo of the statue during the daylight & nighttime hours, while also showing how it looks from behind & at front. Witnessing the statue this way was a fun adventure in itself.
My successful arrival at the interior of The Colosseum, where I’ve witnessed how the area has indeed drastically changed throughout the centuries of the world we all live in, from being a gladiatorial field to a peaceful tourist sight. How legendary.
The two pigeons that Telos and I had discovered within a relatively quiet area at The Colosseum. They both seemed to have resided in their own respective lands, likely appreciating the ancient structure that may had given them a warm welcome.
It turns out that there was a third pigeon within the same area. It was located at the opposite side of where the other two were, and standing at a higher (dimensional) plane. It also looks as if it’s blessed by The Gods above, being showered by The Sun’s ray of light. Amazing.
For those who wonder where Telos & I found the three incredible pigeons from, the area is located right next to the helpful sign that leads to the first visitor floor, the disable route, & the exit. There was also a gift shop very close to here as well.
A long clear distance from inside one of the The Colosseum’s view passage towards the very end of the opposite side. This was a lucky witness of mine, since you usually wouldn’t be able to see this far so clearly due to being crowded most of the time. A great sighting indeed.
The viewpoints of how it looks from inside one of The Colosseum’s windows. It was a calming & enjoyable experience, because Telos and I both had this particular window for ourselves for awhile, making this a good spot to take a break from wandering around The Colosseum.
The central area of the interior within The Colosseum. This was probably how the gladiators use to view the attended audiences. But as of today, no one is required to do any more gladiatorial trials. Instead, one can now safely appreciate the beautiful higher up scenery.
My last photo of The Colosseum’s interior. It shows a lone seagull, standing proud & looking intently across the vastness of the clear blue sky from one of The Colosseum’s windows. I myself think it may had achieved it’s own “spiritual enlightenment”, which is incredible.
My brother & I have thoroughly enjoyed our time venturing within The Colosseum, as we’ve got to witness a lot of it’s amazing features. The two photos here show that very same wondrous place after we’ve just exited from it, being shined upon by the setting Sun.
The Sun beginning to set within the streets of Rome. I felt thankful towards it for having kindly shined throughout the day where my brother and I had visited The Colosseum, and I happily hope to see it again soon.
The beauty of silhouettes within the evening hours. I am very pleased to have witnessed this mysterious & wonderful sight from my time in Rome, where it shows a street lamp, a fence, and a few trees. They make this encounter of mine all the more magical.
I have witnessed more beautiful silhouette sights within Rome. Only this time it was now later within the evening hours, the street lamps & trees I’ve encountered were more unique, & I can even see plentiful of ancient structures in the background. This was still very magical.
The daylight hours have just been concluded, & the night hours have now begun. Within that time, I witnessed a fascinating road area that had plentiful of cars there, while at the back center stands the building known as “Victor Emmanuel Monument”. This was an admirable sighting.
The entrance & interior of the first church I’ve visited called “Crocifisso Miracoloso”. Visiting this area at night makes the experience all the more spiritual, especially with how quieter it is around that time, and being accompanied by the beautiful holy architectures.
The church known as Crocifisso Miracoloso also has an isle where one is able to light a candle after an offering with their 1 or 2 euro coin. They represent one’s spiritual appreciation & wishes towards both their departed loved ones, & those who are in a pinch or feeing ill.
The candle I’ve lighted within the church of Crocifisso Miracoloso. I’ve donated a 2 euro coin towards it (hence why there’s a spare one being shown next to it). It represents my admiration towards both my family, & the many great people I’ve known & met here on social media.
This strongly reminded me of the time when I’ve lighted a candle in one of the churches I’ve visited in the UK, where I’ve wished for the hopes & dreams from those who I deeply respect to become a reality. Here is the tweet & the time I am referring to. https://twitter.com/brotherhood9800/status/1133758314997796864
The next day, I’ve successfully arrived at the wonderful & iconic museum, which was The Vatican Museum! I was within one of the outside areas, since it wasn’t so busy there, I really admired the morning’s sky, & as a way to rest for a bit after having waited in line for a while.
The extra photos I’ve took within the outside area of The Vatican Museum. They all show how wonderful the area looks from the outside, like seeing one of the main buildings, & the other fascinating sights that cannot be traversed towards, which I can happily understand.
The two photos I’ve took during my first time exploring inside The Vatican Museum. They showcase the various greatly crafted ancient sculptures within the adventurous corridors. A very exciting beginning indeed.
The extra photos I’ve took inside The Vatican Museum, where I was within the Egyptian isle. I myself have always been fond with the ancient & general aesthetics of Egypt, so I was particularly very pleased to have encountered this area & it’s beautiful features.
The outside balcony of The Vatican Museum. It brilliantly shows a glorious view of the city of Rome, & it is nicely accompanied by the plants that reside within the flower pots made out of stone, while The Sun shines greatly above. How relaxing.
The Octagonal Courtyard within The Vatican Museum. I’ve only ever took the photos of the middle & higher up aspects of the area, due to being relatively busy at the time. But it was still a great outdoor area with it’s own variant of intriguing sculptures.
The area of “Sala degli Animali” within The Vatican Museum. This room was filled with various creative sculptures of both humans and animals, making this like an interesting “stone zoo” of sorts.
Within the same area of Sala degli Animali, there lies an admirable statue in the distance, where it is in front of another beautiful viewpoint of the city of Rome. A great outside sight that one can only witness from afar.
The 4 photos that show the absolutely incredible art & detail on the corridor floors, walls, & ceilings within The Vatican Museum. They are truly some of the most passionate & holiest designs I have ever witnessed.
Two kinds of windows I’ve encountered within The Vatican Museum, where they show the beautiful outside gardens (especially when being accompanied by The Sun). I believe that these sights are fantastic additions towards the wonderful museum.
The statue of 2 birds that guard a special container of some kind, while the outside world shines brightly & beautifully. My brother admits that he feels a sense of realism from the 2 birds, which I myself find to be both mysterious & intriguing.
My encounter with a colourful stained-glass window within a darkened room inside The Vatican Museum. This is another type of aesthetic I’ve always been very fond with, due to the charming colour variantions & the wonderfully made patterns that accompany them.
A room within The Vatican Museum that may likely be my favourite one of them all. It may be lot more simpler then the previous rooms, but it is made up by the brilliant, unique, & abstract artwork. The artworks shown in these photos are my personal favourites within the area.
The sign that leads towards the marvellous “Capella Sistina”, a huge & fantastic room where it’s ceiling includes many of the world’s most beautiful paintings. Although it is the only room within The Vatican Museum where one is forbid to take any photos, which I can understand.
However, I did noticed that there were people who still took photos there regardless, despite the clear sign next to the leading stairs. I mainly remembered this detail because of one of the guards there having to shout “No photo!” a lot, which I found to be rather hilarious.
Overall, my experience within the Capella Sistina was very calm & pleasant, & I definitely admired the various paintings there. Including the famous one known as “The Creation of Adam” painted by the legendary Michelangelo. Here is a picture of the artwork as a clear reference.
I have now returned to taking photos within The Vatican Museum. These photos once again show the beautiful outdoors from the windows within the hallways. I still find them to be very spectacular, especially with the great weather & atmosphere.
My final photos I’ve took within The Vatican Museum. They both show beautifully crafted sculptures based on the swans, the ducklings, & many elements one would find within a gentle lake environment. This artwork is known as the “Mute Swans Of Peace”, which is fitting & gorgeous.
The doorway I’ve exited from The Vatican Museum. It displays a carved sign that says “MUSEI VATICANI” (which is Italian for “Vatican Museums”), followed by the sculptures of the 2 legendary artists, being Michelangelo (the left) & Raphael (the right). A very admirable closure.
The four photos of the great buildings within St. Peter Square. They all stand ever so tall as I’ve visited the area, giving me the feeling that I have arrived somewhere grand and magical.
The 4 photos of the various beautiful features inside of St. Peter Basilica, which is the largest church in the world. Everything inside is full of gorgeous detail, almost making it feel like I have stumbled upon a new fascinating world. Truly a magical & wonderful experience.
The wonderful outside world of St. Peter’s Square. This was how it looked upon my departure from the magical St. Peter Basilica. I like how immensely vast this area really is from this point of view.
The statue of Saint Peter within St. Peter’s Square, where a lone seagull resides on the top of his head (I wonder if it’s the same seagull I’ve witnessed from The Colosseum?). An interesting sight that I believe many can have their own interpretations on what this could mean.
The last photo I’ve took during the time at The Vatican between my brother and I. We’ve both enjoyed our time venturing & witnessing a lot of it’s holy features, & despite how fairly busy & rather hot the areas were, it was still a fantastic experience overall.
The following day, I’ve encountered the viewpoint of the ruins of Capitoline Hill. One can witness many kinds of structures that are still around from many centuries in this world. The cloudy weather makes for a good & special contrast with this area.
My first encounter with the statue of “Capitoline Wolf” within Rome. It is based on a legend of how Rome was originally founded in this World, where one of the earliest told stories being how there were 2 young twins who were greatly raised by a she-wolf from the 8th century BC.
The balcony & the two views from an area known as “Palatine Hill”. A good resting place for one after they’ve traversed the many stairs that lead to it, as they can spend some time to appreciate sights there.
A long clear pathway within Palatine Hill, supported by the green coloured hedges & trees under the cloudy skies. Even if I make it towards the end of the path & appreciate it’s features, I will still be thankful towards the incredible journey that has lead up to it.
The destination of the path I have taken within an area known as “Campitelli”. They brilliantly show the ruins that were likely around for many centuries, whether they are quite close to the pathway, or from afar in the horizon. Either way, it is very nice.
The 2 photos where they show an area within Campitelli that was once an entire stadium dedicated towards chariot races called “The Circus Maximus”. Much like The Colosseum, it has now become a peaceful wandering & witnessing sight that still strongly holds it’s original spirit.
The trees that reside in Palatine Hill. They all take the form of either being silhouette-like, or how they look within the soothing concluding months of the year, while being accompanied by the calm setting Sun, making these sights & the atmosphere itself feel ever so peaceful.
Another photo of the strong standing trees in Palatine Hill, where these ones show more of a mixture between (partial) silhouettes and the feeling of the season of Autumn. You can even see other various trees and The Colosseum from this viewpoint, which is amazing.
Upon me & my brother’s return to the Principessa Trevi, I’ve witnessed a pigeon on the edge of the roof below the balcony, showing it’s back towards me, & silently gazing at the open window on the left. Whether it was keeping watch or planning to intrude remains a mystery.
The final morning during my time in Rome, where I had my first encounter with the entrance of The Pantheon, one of the oldest churches to have ever lived in this world (which I hear that it has lived for over two thousand years, which is truly incredible).
My arrival within the interior of The Pantheon. I was fascinated by the features it possesses, such as the hole located on the center of the ceiling (where the light shines through), brilliantly showing that it is the largest reinforced dome in the world, & it’s unique holiness.
The various holy artworks & structures inside The Pantheon. They are all greatly crafted, & serve as lovely additions towards the large circular church (where it was still quite quiet). My brother & I had a wonderful time visiting the last church we’ve embarked on in Rome.
As I’ve mentioned & promised earlier, I’ve returned to the Trevi Fountain, where I’ve witnessed the accompanied house once again, & of course, the fountain itself! Although the fountain was dried up, I believe it is beneficial for one to know how it truly looks every now & then.
Another thing worth mentioning about the Trevi Fountain is that one can throw a certain amount of euro coins into it like any other fountain, but this one they have to use their right hand to throw the coins over the back of their left shoulder to make certain wishes come true.
For example, if one were to throw a single euro coin, they will likely return to The Eternal City within Rome. Two euro coins, they may likely return & fall in love. Three euro coins, they might even return, fall in love, & get married.
I myself threw only one coin, showing my thanks towards the Trevi Fountain & Rome itself, & I look forward to returning to this beautiful city in the future one day.
The area of Fiumicino within the evening hours. The time where I’ve took this photo was when the flight I was suppose to attend got cancelled (due to many of the staff being on “strike”). So my brother Telos & I boarded a taxi, as we went to find somewhere to stay for 2 nights.
After having everything sorted out & rested for a bit within a good hotel, my brother & I went on a walk, where we’ve stumbled upon a shopping mall after having accented the ground levelled car park area. It was an enjoyable experience for us due to being practically quiet there.
My brother & I both successfully left from one of the shopping mall’s entrances, where we found out it was called “Euroma 2”. It was apparently a well known shopping mall within Italy, & a rather fascinating one at that. We’ve enjoyed our time visiting around it’s closing hours.
A sign that is located near one of the entrances by Euroma 2, where it welcomes you in various languages! How very considerate.
The exact location where my brother & I were staying for 2 nights was within an area called “Torino”. An area that is relatively quiet with a few various facilities, including a stand out one being the shopping mall known as Euroma 2. Here is how the area looks at night.
The extra photos I’ve took upon me & my brother’s exploration within Torino at night. I am pleased to see this location possesses some of my favourite variants of the night hours aesthetics, particularly with how the buildings & the street lights comfortably light the area.
The next day within Torino, my brother & I experienced both the daylight hours & the areas we didn’t embark on from our prior venturing. It was a great experience, due to the variant of areas we’ve discovered, & the wonderful weather that accompanied us the whole time.
This is my final photo during the midday hours in Rome. A pathway within Torino where it includes many greatly green coloured bushes & trees, while being accompanied by The Sun above, effectively creating a wonderful path to take a relaxing stroll on.
The photo I’ve took upon beginning to traverse the night hours & visiting the Euroma 2 shopping mall one last time in Rome. Within this photo, you can see many lights that brilliantly shine under the night sky, & the wonderful path I’ve embarked on during the same day.
The rooftop of Euroma 2. I’ve accidentally ended up here due to having gotten lost within the shopping mall (it was quite difficult to find the exit I was looking for). This area was mainly for everyone to attend to should there ever be a fire occurrence inside the facility.
Another photo I’ve took on the Euroma 2 rooftop, due to looking very beautiful with how the lights illuminate the area. As lovely as it would be to stay for a while, I needed to find the way out, since I still wasn’t sure if I was allowed to be around here (lol).
Thankfully, I’ve managed to find a way out in the end, as I have found a stairway that leads towards the ground floor from the Euroma 2 rooftop. This has been an interesting, yet adventurous addition towards my final night outing in Rome.
My final photo I’ve took during my time in Rome. This was when I was about to board the earliest plane ride I’ve had so far (being at around 7AM), where I’ve witnessed The Sun beginning to rise from afar, wishing everyone a wonderful good morning.
Thus concludes the adventures in Rome that me & my brother Telos have embarked on, & I thank you all very much for taking the time to view the photos & the descriptions I’ve shown. I wish you all to have a wonderful final Sunday of November 2019, & many bright days that await us.
