Rome Marathon, March, 22nd 2009

Last post with pics of the Rome Marathon, with some places I love: A street of Trastevere (the other bank of the Tiber), the Borromini's white-corkscrew cupula of Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza (the legend says the form of the lantern is an homage to the Barberini family, whose coat of arms despicte bees, so the lantern could be the sting of a bee) The church, hexagonal, is small and white with concave and convexes interiors. A masterpiece of semplicity.

The artichokes and pumpkin is in the Jewish Ghetto, and the artichokes are a typical dish of the roman-jewish cuisine.

The tower is the one where the legend says the emperor Nero played the lyre while all Rome were in flames.
