Moonlight Walk from Piazza Navona to the Roman Forum

The same centre, four hours later. After dark the coaches have gone, the traffic on the Lungotevere has thinned and the monuments are lit from the ground up, which is not how they were designed to be seen but is what makes them photograph. The walk runs from Piazza Navona to the Forum, moving from the Baroque city into the imperial one, and the two are twenty minutes apart on foot. Along the way: the Fountain of the Four Rivers and Sant'Agnese in Agone, and the story of the two men who built them and could not stand each other. The Pantheon from the outside, a building put up three times and destroyed twice before the version standing now. The Trevi Fountain by Nicola Salvi, with fewer people around it and the sound of the water audible, which during the day it is not. Piazza Venezia and Sacconi's Vittoriano lit white. Trajan's Column, and the Forum at the end. The host is Lascarina, who runs the walk herself and is more interested in how people actually lived than in dates.
