And the feast goes on.

This is an Etruscan cinerary urn from Sarteano, near Chiusi in Tuscany, and dates from about 520 BC. Long after inhumation became widespread, the people of Chiusi and surrounding hamlets continued to cremate, placing ashes in anthropomorphizing urns that were often dressed, decked with jewelry or with wigs or helmets. They were postioned underground on appropriately sized thrones with small tables of food in front of them such that they could continue, eternally, to enjoy meals. (Leiden, National Museum of Antiquities)

A few weeks ago I took a trip of my own. It was 12 days, the same length of time that many of you select when you come to Italy. My trip, all undertaken on public transport, illustrates the remarkable variety that Italy offers. It is proof of how a multi-base Insider’s Italy-planned adventure is like an exploration of diverse countries. When can we plan for you ?

Mesmerizing !

Today, on my birthday, according to a long-standing custom, I am posting “as a gift” something not quite ordinary. Let this time be a general view of Rome in 3D and its current progress. The camera hangs over the Subura area, and up close you can see the Baths of Trajan and the portico of Livia, and in the distance, still in empty space, the Baths of Diocletian. Gradually, buildings will be added here, with a number of important and interesting structures.
You can also notice that I've started adding realistic terrain outside the city walls, with trees, fields and villas that give a sense of the ancient countryside of Latium.
