Once upon a time Gods were infuriated by the pride of the Romans and all its visitors who thought that if they had Rome for themselves they had everything . They sent storms over to punish those who were too haughty. The storms were announced by whispering winds that frightened away those who had ears to hear their song.
That is how I was speared of the hounded skies of Rome, hiding away in the Tivoli Gardens. That is one way to put it. The other story would be that the Erasmus Union has organised for us a guided trip there right in time for a storm to hit the capital. I don't know about you but I much prefer the first option.

Let me explain: Mussolini was designing a new city center as part of his propaganda policy. He needed a Colosseum with a twist, as you do, while rebuilding an empire. Times have changed and now the Colosseum belongs to a Fashion Empire-Fendi Once upon a time in a far away land there lived a powerful noble family, Ludovisi, Legend as it that the four corners of the word have heard of the beauty of their Roman gardens during the 17th and the 18th century. Like any respected Roman family, Ludovisi were avid collectors of art, Ancient and contemporary.
Unfortunately their "ever after" ended by the 19th century, when the financial crisis of the family obliged them to fragment their lands and sell those plots(This is actually the reason why layout of the Cartiere Ludivisi is so uneven) All the plots were sold except for one that become the dumping ground of the quarter. |
