Roman Drinking Fountain
Rome, Italy
I was off on a walk and look what I found, a Roman drinking fountain, in Italian a nasone or a fontanella. I was so excited that I had to show my family, so I made a video. We all laughed as I put my finger under the running water to have the stream of water come out, it did, and it hit me in the face.

Castel Sant’Angelo
Rome, Italy – 2016 – iPhone
We decided to take a walk thru Rome. We walked along the Tiber River and saw some beautiful sights! Castel Sant’Angelo was built by the Emperor Hadrian as a tomb for he and his family in 134 AD. His ashes were placed here a year after he died in 138 AD. In later years it became a fortress for Popes. Today it is a museum.

Santa Maria Sopra Minerva

When we arrived in Rome I soon found out that there are a lot of churches there. My attitude at first was that all churches are the same, so I would walk past them. After about a year of living in Rome, one day I didn’t walk past a particular church, but rather, I walked inside and I was amazed at the beauty I saw. I soon found that every church is different inside and from then on I always went inside a church to enjoy the wonder and beauty of it! This church I visited many times over the years and I took this photo of a column and the ceiling in 2005. Santa Maria sopra Minerva was built on top of the foundations of a temple dedicated to the Greco-Roman goddess Minerva, thus sopra Minerva (above Minerva). I still remember the first time I walked inside this church, I was in awe at the beauty of the ceiling!
