A walk around Trastevere, up a hill to views and then across the Tiber to the Pyramid of Caius Cestius, the tomb of a Roman Egyptophile.

I was nearing the end of my 2018 trip to Italy, and the weather was warm. These are shots from another walk around Rome. Romans love a fountain, so that's where I begin.

I was there to walk the famous Appian Way, an ancient Roman road that connected the capital to southern Italy.

A short train ride west of Rome, Ostia Antica is the preserved site of the ancient port of Ostia, which served as the primary port of the imperial capital.

This week I bring night shots of Rome, starting at the Spanish Steps, Castel Sant'Angelo, and finishing in St Peter's Square, Vatican City. Cheers, Stuee

It was the first full day in Rome, the final destination in my 8-week epic trip around Italy, and I was off to the Colosseum, Arch of Constantine and the Palatine Hill.

Shots taken from evening into night of the Piazza del Campo and Duomo di Siena.

On my first full day of exploring Siena. Through the old town and around the edges with views of the surrounding countryside.

These photos are my first impressions of Siena, including Palazzo Salimeni, Piazza del Campo, and the stunning Duomo di Siena.

Laid out in the 16th and 17th centuries, there are great views across the River Arno of the city and of the countryside in the other direction.

Here is a selection of shots from my 2018 visit to Florence/Firenze in Tuscany.
