title A Working Trip to Rome, Italy - 10th September 1999 intro Nosher's in Italy to take part in a meeting of the EU's DG XIII GALA project - Global Access to Local something or other - which Suffolk County Council is part of, with its Traveline on-line booking system. Nosher nearly misses the meeting on account of deciding to walk, but it's a humid day and further than it looked on the map, so after ending up down a random street with the smell of tomato plants in the air, it's time for a taxi to the meeting venue. The meeting itself is only a few hours, so there's plenty of time to explore Rome itself. scan2020-02-24-0056 Crowds throng the Spanish Steps scan2020-02-24-0057 Teeming crowds scan2020-02-24-0065 Like a Frederico Fellini film scan2020-02-24-0047 A fountain scan2020-02-24-0036 The Trevi Fountain scan2020-02-24-0063 Trevi does its thing scan2020-02-24-0062 Crowds by the Trevi Fountain scan2020-02-24-0054 Hanging around the Trevi Fountain scan2020-02-24-0064 Marlene sits upon the wall scan2020-02-24-0035 A Roman side street scan2020-02-24-0034 The Forum scan2020-02-24-0025 Behind the Forum scan2020-02-24-0031 Behind the Forum again scan2020-02-24-0038 A Roman gate near the Forum scan2020-02-24-0043 A woman takes a break in the Palatine scan2020-02-24-0041 Somewhere up in the Palatine scan2020-02-24-0040 Purple flowers in the Palatine scan2020-02-24-0039 Roman ruins scan2020-02-24-0053 Walking up Palatine Hill scan2020-02-21-0003 A square somewhere scan2020-02-24-0033 Trajan's Column scan2020-02-24-0044 The Colosseum is covered in scaffolding scan2020-02-24-0032 "Romans" outside the Colosseum scan2020-02-24-0049 The complicated insides of the Colosseum scan2020-02-24-0051 Another view inside the Colosseum scan2020-02-24-0026 Tour groups mill around inside the Colosseum scan2020-02-24-0017 A street-market stall in a shady spot scan2020-02-24-0015 Time for a panino and coke at a café scan2020-02-24-0028 Another fountain scan2020-02-24-0014 Shafts of light in St. Peter's scan2020-02-24-0001 The dome of St. Peter's Basillica scan2020-02-24-0045 A crowd of chairs in St. Peter's scan2020-02-24-0009 The nave of St Peter's scan2020-02-24-0018 Painted frescos in St. Peter's scan2020-02-24-0023 An altar scan2020-02-24-0004 More shafts of light in St. Peter's scan2020-02-24-0010 St. Peter's scan2020-02-24-0067 A fountain in St Peter's Square, Vatican sc04 St. Peter's Square scan2020-02-24-0071 Columns around St. Peter's Square scan2020-02-21-0028 Another view of the Spanish Steps scan2020-02-24-0005 A last view of the Eternal City
