The Experience

“You know, Romans say the best way to see the city is with your head out the window,” Marco grinned as he handed me a tiny espresso and opened the door of his cherry-red Fiat 500. I’d never ridden in something so small or so cheerful—every bump on the cobbles made us laugh. The Colosseum loomed up before we’d even finished our coffee, and Marco (who doubled as our photographer) waved at a group of old men arguing about football on the curb. He knew every shortcut and honked at just the right moments—sometimes I wondered if he was steering or dancing.

Piazza Venezia flashed by in a blur of marble and scooters, but he slowed down for the Orange Garden. The smell hit first—sort of sweet, sort of dusty—and then we wandered under those trees while Marco fiddled with his camera settings. He tried to get us to pose like Italian movie stars. I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed being photographed; maybe it was the way he joked about my “Roman nose” or how he pointed out St. Peter’s dome peeking through leaves. The view there is something I still think about, honestly.

The drive up Gianicolo Hill felt like climbing into another layer of Rome—quieter, windier, with kids chasing stray dogs near Fontana dell’Acqua Paola. That fountain looked almost too white against the blue sky. Marco snapped some candid shots while we watched water spill over lions’ heads; my hair got caught in the breeze and he said that was “the real Roman look.” We ended up with fifty photos but what stuck most was how everyone seemed to know Marco—he’d shout buongiorno and someone would always answer back.
