Happy Birthday Dear Rome on your 2764th Birthday !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ROME, ON YOUR 2764TH BIRTHDAY !

I love you so : you are the city of my birth, my mother’s birth, my daughter’s birth.. an endlessly interesting treasure trove of historical suggestion, of art and archeology and architecture, a city of deep shadows cast by Renaissance palaces, of capers growing in the Aurelian walls, of hissing espresso machines and rounded cobblestones, of splendid fountains, succulent cooking.. a city with a tremendous joy for living.

TANTISSIMI AUGURI CARISSIMA ROMA !
