A week between two commissions. Rome for the obvious, Naples for the pizza, Pompeii for the silence.

Day 1 11 Apr

Rome 🇮🇹

Italy · 4 nights

A room above a bar in Monti. The bar was the better room.
Day 5 15 Apr
2

Naples 🇮🇹

Italy · 3 nights

Loud, beautiful, exhausting, correct.
Day 6 16 Apr

Pompeii 🇮🇹

Pompei, Italy

Circumvesuviana out, the whole day in the ruins.

12 Apr

Pantheon 🇮🇹Rome, Italy
Nineteen hundred years old and the dome is still unreinforced concrete. Rain comes through the oculus; the floor has drains. They thought of everything.
13 Apr

Vatican Museums 🇻🇦Vatican City
First entry, straight to the Sistine Chapel. Twelve minutes of near-silence. Then the crowd caught up.
14 Apr

Roman Forum 🇮🇹Rome, Italy
Walked the Via Sacra where the triumphs went. Wrote four pages. Kept one.
15 Apr

L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele 🇮🇹Naples, Italy
Margherita or marinara, nothing else on the menu. An hour in the queue for a few euros of perfection.
16 Apr

Pompeii 🇮🇹Pompei, Italy
A bakery with its ovens intact, a mosaic dog that still says beware. Vesuvius right there, looking innocent.
