The Experience

“In Rome, you don’t just see history—you drive through it,” Marco grinned as he swung open the tiny door of our bright red Fiat 500. I squeezed into the passenger seat (it’s cozier than you’d think), and the engine gave this happy little rumble that made people on the sidewalk turn and smile. We zipped out from near Rome Termini, and suddenly I was eye-level with Vespas, cobblestones, and—honestly—a lot of curious locals waving or snapping photos. At some point I realized I was grinning like a kid.

Our first stop was the Baths of Caracalla. Marco pointed out how massive it all was—“Fifteen football fields!” he said, stretching his arms wide—and I could almost hear echoes of ancient Romans splashing around. The air smelled faintly of pine needles and old stone. A couple of minutes later we rolled past Circus Maximus; Marco mimicked chariot noises (badly) and told us about rock concerts there now. It’s wild to think Springsteen played where Ben Hur once raced.

I didn’t expect to be so taken by the Orange Garden—Parco Savello—where you get this view over Rome that just sort of sneaks up on you between orange trees. There’s a breeze that smells sweet and a hush even though you’re in the middle of everything. We peeked through that famous Aventine keyhole (three countries in one line—still can’t wrap my head around it). Then back in Trastevere for coffee—Marco insisted on a double espresso, “Roman style.” He laughed when I tried to order in Italian; probably butchered it but he seemed delighted anyway.

We stopped for photos at the Colosseum—no way around it, seeing it from that low angle in a tiny car is weirdly moving. There was this moment where everything went quiet except for the sound of shutters clicking and distant church bells. The last bit up to Janiculum Terrace felt like floating above all those domes and rooftops—I still think about that view sometimes when I hear traffic back home.
