I have yet to figure out how to use the computer in Italian, but I have got by so far.
Everything here is absolutely breathtaking.
The roman ruins inspire a sense of how tradegic the fall of Rome was.
You never realise the significance of a site untril you are there, especially the patheon. Art history books due the building no justice. Pictures represent the building looking pristine and white, but on the sides it is brown and sienna from years of exposure. Built 2000 years ago. It's staggering, the size is truly god-like. These building are the best representations of god because you can't help but look up, and see rain pouring from the heavens. Somehow, between your neck hurting and visual overload, there is an expanding inside, reminding you of your significance against the cosmos. The pantheon is truly a perfect building, or rather the most perfect in all the world. Truly a wonder. Thank god the building was converted in early christianity, or the greatest crime of humanity would have taken place. I'm so glad it was raining, rain out of the oculus was beautiful!
Rome is definately an artistic experience. I'm getting so much material for later work.
The Caravaggio's, in person, were the most inspiring. In comparison to the paintings surrounding it just give
perspective to revolutionary he was! My art will definately change because of him.

The gatto is adorable, can you adopt him as a companion during your stay?
I loved your observations and thoughts on the ruins of Rome seen through the haze of rain. Very expressive!
i swear, this cat looks like he's led an interesting life...he just looks like he's on the last of his 9 lives!!
