Abstract

Letter from Rome
Weaver, William | February 9, 1957 issue

add to cart   close window

The article author feels that the Italian capital Rome is particularly overwhelming when seen under a tourist's blue sky, with flowers blooming in the parks, the fountains cooling the June air. But the winter Rome, the Rome of the Romans, has its merits, too. When the last party of college girls has gone back to the classrooms, when October's last sunshine has turned into November rain, the city's grey streets take on a different life, the Romans seem more numerous, as if they had been in hiding, and the season begins. It is nearly Christmas before one is really aware of it.
