This summer we moved to Rome, Italy. I first visited Rome way back in 1995 when I was living in Moscow, Russia. I later visited northern Italy quite a number of times while we were living in Croatia. We finally visited Rome as a family in 2013. But now we get to actually live here, which is awesome!
I have always been a huge history buff, and ancient Rome was always my favorite. If you have never read the Rome series by Colleen McCullough, it's the best historical fiction I've ever read. I intend to re-read the series now that I'm living here.

Our apartment is right in the historical center of Rome, not far from the Pantheon and Piazza Navona.

Walking anywhere around the city center is simply amazing, blending so many historical styles.

Even my new place of work is gorgeous. The hallway below is just steps away from my office!
It's going to be a fascinating three years here!

What made you decide to move to Rome?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late response; for some reason Blogger isn't messaging me anymore when someone comments. I moved to Rome for my work in the Foreign Service.
DeleteAs someone interested in foreign service and who learned Italian abroad in college, I sincerely hope you will blog often about your work and experience there!
