Chaotic by day, Rome is inviting by night. So on Friday, May 29, we had an optional night walk for students. We started at 9 p.m. with about 60 (too big for a group photo at night; sorry, parents!). Groups peeled off as the night wore on, and we ended with 18 of us finishing the six-mile trip at 2 a.m. (yawn!).
We saw the Colosseum, the Forum, Piazza del Campidoglio (designed by Michelangelo), the Victor Emmanuel Monument, Largo di Torre Argentina (where Julius Caesar was assassinated) Campo de' Fiori (a popular nightspot), Piazza Navona (home of the Three Rivers fountain), the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain (sadly under repairs) and the Spanish Steps.
And of course, we had gelato at the famed, family-owned Giolitti, which offered a chance to grab some snapshots. Click on each photo to enlarge or treat as a gallery.
