The light of Rome

Evening over the Campo Marzio. Via dei Condotti runs from the Corso straight to the Piazza di Spagna, and the Steps climb to Trinità dei Monti.

This is not a picture of Rome. It is Rome, built on the real map: every street where OpenStreetMap draws it, every height from the survey, every fountain where it plays, every shop under its own name. Walk it, buy a lot beside it, build on it.

Low sun over the piazza. The travertine of the Steps turns gold, the twin towers of Trinità dei Monti catch the last light.

La notte

Then the lanterns, the shop windows and the lit fountain. The same via, open all night.
