The Experience

We slid into Alessandro’s car just outside our hotel — he greeted us like we’d met before, which felt oddly comforting. The city was already humming as we drove towards the Colosseum, sunlight flickering through narrow alleys. I could smell espresso drifting from a bar as Alessandro pointed out the arches of the Colosseum and told us about gladiators (I didn’t expect to care about that part, but his stories made it real). We hopped out for photos — the marble felt cool under my hand.

The day trip around Rome from site to site was a blur of colors and sounds. At the Trevi Fountain, coins clinked into water while tourists tried to get the perfect selfie (I failed spectacularly). Alessandro knew exactly where to stand for the best view — he even snapped a picture for us. Later at Piazza Navona, street artists were setting up; someone was playing accordion nearby. I tasted gelato near the Pantheon (pistachio — not too sweet), and honestly, I’m still thinking about it.

It wasn’t just facts — Alessandro shared little things: how Romans gesture when they talk (so much waving!), where locals buy bread, why people still toss coins at Trevi even if they don’t believe in wishes. He joked about my Italian pronunciation (“You sound Neapolitan!”), which made everyone laugh. We never felt rushed; there was always time for questions or just staring quietly at some old stone wall, trying to imagine emperors walking there. The tour ended at St. Peter’s Square with sunlight slanting across cobblestones — I didn’t want to leave yet.
