The Spanish Steps - famous flirting ground for Italian youths, these were actually built by the French. We also traipsed around Via Condotti, home to the Cartier etc shopping district. Anna was disappointed that Cartier was closed. I was okay with it.
Trevi Fountain - another Bernini fountain, immortalised by Fellini's film "La Dolce Vita". We both threw coins into the fountain (over our shoulders), a ritual that ensures we will return to Rome!Palatine Hill - where the wealthiest Romans, and the Emperors, built their palaces. Overlooks the Circus Maximus, now a dirty looking field.
Colosseum - you know, where that Russell Crowe film was set.
Teatro Marcello - theatre built by Augustus for his sister, Octavia.
Piazza Farnese - two large fountains, made with monumental bath tubs from the Baths of Caracalla (also in Rome).
