First day in Italy

This was my first day in Italy, which I will now proceed to tell you from the beginning.

Palazzo della Cività Italiana

I arrived at the Fiumicino ariport early in the morning. I took one of the airport transports to go to the city. In the way to Rome, I was able to see some monuments and the driver told me what he knew about them. One was a big cube-shaped structure that was made in Mussolini's regime, and he explained that althoung it wasn't an ugly building, most italians didn't liked it because it reminded them to their former dictator. It was called Il Palazzo della Cività Italiana. In the way I saw lots of beautiful churches, sculptures  and monuments everywhere and took pictures of them when I could.


Later, I arrived to the house of the host family just for lunch, and we ate a typical Italian meal: pasta with pommodora (tomato sauce). They were a very friendly family, and they promised to take me in a visit to the Vatican Museum and to San Peter's Basilic, but in that moment they had to go to work, and they left.

Fontana di Trevi

I went out to explore the surroundings of the house. The house was located in a central zone of the city, full of tourists and places to visit. I was hearing the noise of falling water somewhere, and I decided to follow it. When I reached the source of the noise, I was surprised by a hughe and beautiful fountain, that was later revealed to me as the Fontana Di Trevi. The fountain pictured Poseidon, some pegasus and other greek mythological characters.


I returned to the house soon because I was tired of the long travel in the plane (I don't usually sleep well in planes). I took a nap and I woke up to take a shower and dine with the family that had just returned. We chatted about culture and politics of Italy and of my country, and then we went to bed.
