When In Rome

kottke.org June 19, 2025 By Jason Kottke

Ok, having been all over the western Mediterranean for the past two weeks, I’m back. *sigh* Here, without comment or context (I know, I know), are some of the things I saw:

statue of a veiled woman

detail of Caravaggio's Judith Beheading Holofernes

black and white photo of a Roman temple

massive cranes in a shipyard

a bright red one-seater car on the streets of Rome

Bernini sculpture of David with his slingshot

brilliantly blue Mediterranean Sea

detail of Bernini's sculpture Apollo and Daphne

detail of letters carved into stone

a shipyard filled with shipping containers

a view of a church dome & steeple through the foliage

a statue of an angelic woman

detail of letters carved into stone

Not pictured: a bunch of amazing food we ate over the course of the trip.
