"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"

« Rare Sighting at the Pantheon »

About two weeks before I left Italy, I took a day trip to Rome to see Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza and an exhibit on Antonello da Messina. The church is famous for its architecture and the exhibit was special because it was the largest collection that had ever been amassed at one time. I used the two as my excuses for the trip, but really I wanted some time alone with Rome. In the afternoon, after eating at my favorite panino place, I went to the Pantheon and took this picture.

They are a priest, a cardinal, and a carabiniere. I like the diversity of all the faces behind them.
