Postcards From Readers: Rome

After my recent trip to Rome, I thought other readers might be interested in this photo at a Roman riverfront, considering everyone’s interest in Sacramento’s riverfronts: St. Peter’s Basilica on the Tiber River in Rome. The massive structure, here in the background, is cavernously opulent inside, grandly inspiring outside, and beautiful at night. The vendor and entertainment tents dotted all up and down the river like those pictured in the foreground here come alive long after dark. They have many different types of music at different locations, and the ones here had a terrific Dixieland band. Rick Maness
