Piazza Farnese

Sunday morning in Piazza Farnese:
Two cyclists pass through.
The two Italian soldiers are standing in the shade of the building while guarding the French embassy.
A woman stands at one of the two fountains sketching the fountain in her sketchbook, pencils in her pocket.
Two garbage trucks stop so the drivers can have a chat.
A man wanders in and buys the newspaper.
A man pauses and then walks into the church for the 7:30 mass.
The sounds of the sisters of St. Brigida are singing.
A woman buys the paper then sits on the bench outside the Palace Farnese (embassy now) and reads and smokes a cigarette.


Seagulls fly overhead.
A group of children kick a ball around in the corner, avoiding the odd car and taxi.
