Gianicolo Hill which also goes by The Janiculum gave us a panoramic views of the city below us
You can see the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II also known as the Alter Of The Fatherland in the background
The dome of St. Peter's Basilica
The Fontana dell'Acqua Paola also known as Il Fontanone is a monumental fountain located on the Janiculum Hill
Below are some of the views that we saw as we walked down from Janiculum Hill to Trastevere.
Trastevere is a funky, bohemian area that clings to its centuries-old, working-class roots. It's known for traditional and innovative trattorias, craft beer pubs and artisan shops, as well as simple B&Bs and budget hotels. From the pre-dinner passeggiata (promenade) until late, a young crowd buzzes around Piazza di San Calisto and Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, the site of a gilded, mosaic-filled church. The Trastevere area is very popular and can be quite crowded due to its popularity. You couldn't tell that based on my photos but as night fall comes so do the crowds.

Below is a monument of Carlo Alberto Salustri (Rome, 1873-1950), who was an Italian dialect poet, better known by his pen name of Trilussa (an anagram of his surname, “Salustri”). He is best known for his poems, some of them sonnets, written in the dialect of Rome. This monument can be found in
Trastevere
This concludes our adventures in Rome and Florence, Italy.
The next morning we flew to Paris for 3 days to visit some friends there. Unfortunately Veronica caught some type of bug and was rather sick so we did not get to venture out much on this visit but there will be a next time...possibly a Springtime in Paris
