Here’s a photoset from my two and a half days in Rome downtown. I only got to scratch the surface, but here’s what I saw.

    wow, what good pictures; must be inspiring to be amidst structures so old and time-worn.

    what’s the rule, anyways, for how old something has to be before it’s desirable/admired? For instance, I see a lot of houses from the 1960s/1970s that I wouldn’t live in if someone paid me; people like houses if they’re either really new or old, near turn of the century.

    In the U.S., once something has reached 50 years it can be considered officially historic.
