Please trentbartonland offer some retraining to this driver. His heavy braking, crazy swerving and drifting as he stares at every scantily clad woman he drives past makes me feel nauseous.

#30 A diplomatic hub, papal Rome was theatre of the world. Drama ensued. In the mid-C17th, brawling Frenchmen and Spaniards looted stalls on Piazza Navona for make-shift weapons. On the Corso, the Spanish ambassador mobbed the envoy of newly independent Portugal #CityofEchoes
#24 When Romans looted the Vatican Palace during the conclave of 1378, wine bathed the floors. According to a 2014 Wine Institute survey little has changed. They revealed that residents of the Vatican State drink more wine than those of any country in the world #CityOfEchoes
#29 #CityofEchoes shows how the history and fabric of Rome were shaped by the presence of the popes. The Lateran's sweating cenotaph suggests that the city and its popes remain intimately linked. A memorial to Sylvester II (d.1003) it's said to sweat when the pope is about to die
#23 Filippo Neri is justly called the Second Apostle of Rome. Arriving in 1533, he engaged Romans across the social strata from princes to down & outs. Like Rome he was holy & a little bizarre shaving his beard vertically down the centre & wearing clothes inside out #CityOfEchoes
#27 I’m sure many papal conclaves seem interminable to the cardinals but one took 3 whole years (1268-71). Held in Viterbo, locals tried to hasten its decision, locking the doors, walling up other exits, offering only bread and water and reportedly removing the roof #CityofEchoes
#26 In C19th Rome the words ‘Mastro Titta is crossing the bridge’ were ominous and well understood: Mastro Titta was the papal executioner who he lived across the Tiber, near the Vatican, for his own safety. His axe and robes are now in Rome's Museum of Crimonology #CityofEchoes
#22 Another favourite figure in #CityofEchoes is Queen Christina of Sweden. Her conversion to Catholicism in 1654 was a boon for the pope. But after she arrived in Rome - to huge fanfare - she irked prelates with haughtiness, questions about the truth of relics & rowdy salons.
#25 A Scotsman togate in tartan, gazing wistfully in front of a ruin, Batoni's wonderfully outrageous portrait of Col. William Gordon is splendid evidence of the joy and power of Rome as a place and an idea - and the echoes of the past that reverberate in the city #CityofEchoes
#28 Men (and a fair number of women I believe) are apparently mad on the #RomanEmpire . But what about popes who stepped into the vacuum the western emperors left? Leo the Great confronted both Gaiseric and Attila, a man who delighted in the nickname ‘scourge of God’ #CityofEchoes
