          The area around the Colosseum   Proof I was there. The Alps from the window at Hotel Leonardo da Vinci. Weird hotel... never saw more than about 5 other guests in that huge place. Constantine's arch in the Colosseum square Looking back down the forum The basements underneath the colosseum, where platforms were used to raise slaves and animals. One wing of the Basilica Leaving Saint Peters Basilica, between the columns The castle of Milan Colosseum is quite big isn't it. The Colosseum, as I stepped out of the taxi. One of the biggest buzzes of my life to be there. Why is a place built to show off and spill blood so impressive? Honorary columns and the Temple of Saturn   Detail of Constantine's arch The triumphal arch of Constantine - built out of spare parts Duomo in Milan, covered up for refurbishing. Never did see the face completely   The interior of the quite spectacular Milan Duomo. Many paintings and stained glasses. My famous Nuovo Pignone FDM circuit comes to Italy! A flying visit to Florence, just this one photo of the church outside the railway station. Fortunately a later trip allowed more time to experience Florence Up the read, past the Roman forum... Forum from above   The forum proper... a place to walk, mingle... Strange foggy morning at Hotel Leonardo da Vinci The famous Galleria in Milan, festive season at night. Amongst the houses rising on the hills around the forum. The famous (in Milan) general Garibaldi It's important to eat healthily, so I found a fruit shop in Milan. Fruit... made of solid sugar... The hill above Good morning Rome. From the roof of the rather good hotel Cosmopolita I casually found in the middle of Rome for €100! Winter is the time to go. The Pantheon, last intact classical temple in Rome, by Hadrian in 125AD The Pantheon is a remarkably attractive building inside, simple yet spectacular. Wonderful light from the open roof Piazza Duomo in front of the Duomo cathedral Welcome to Rome :) Looking out over the great city Front of the temple of Saturn (?) The Arch of Septimius Severus Sky above Colosseum Basilica di San Petro. The heart of the Catholic church, and a truly enormous cathedral. Stained glass windows in Duomo Some of the many dozens of intricate statues atop the wings of the Basilica Colosseum by late afternoon light Our first innocent team: Site manager Andreas (left), me, Andreas' girlfriend, and project manager Peter Moller (right). We come to the Roman forum, the old heart of Rome. The Temples of Saturn and Concord Arch of Tito One of the tombs in the Pantheon Fontana de Trevi, the fountains of Trevi, 1735. Nice place to sit. Very crowded in summer. The sculptures around the fountains Below the floor of the Colosseum, where the slaves and animals were prepared. (Gladiators had a special entrance) Stairs to higher levels; closed to visitors now... We can fit this system no worries! This shed will be fine! Remains of the temple of Vesta (she of the Vestal Virgins) The Vittoriano, celebrating the first king of Italy, Vittorio Emmanuele II (~1865)       The rather grandiose entrance to the Vittoriano The Vittoriano by day: you can see why they call it the wedding cake The huge scale of the colosseum construction. This is part that was damaged in earthquake The Duomo window from outside Uh huh. Second day at the site. Obviously time to destroy it
