The experience

The first thing I remember is the hush that fell as we stepped into Piazza del Popolo: like someone turned down the city’s volume for a second. Our guide, Marco, waved us over to the old gate and pointed at some faded stonework. “Michelangelo was supposed to design this,” he said, but then shrugged and grinned, “He was busy.” The air smelled faintly of roasted chestnuts from a cart nearby. I think that’s when it hit me: Rome is layers stacked on layers, and you can almost taste the history if you breathe in deep enough.

We zigzagged through little streets (I lost count of how many times we had to dodge scooters), and suddenly there were the Spanish Steps. People everywhere: kids with gelato, a woman sketching quietly on the fourth step up. Marco told us about poets who used to sit here centuries ago. I tried to imagine them among all these selfie sticks and laughter. It was warmer than I expected for spring. My jacket ended up tied around my waist before we even reached Trevi Fountain.

I’d seen photos of Trevi Fountain but nothing really prepares you for the sound: the water just roars out of nowhere. We squeezed closer and Marco handed us coins for the classic toss-over-the-shoulder thing. Mine landed with a little plop. He said that means I’ll come back someday (I hope so). The Pantheon was next: inside it felt cool and echoey, light pouring through that round opening at the top like some kind of spotlight from above. There’s something weirdly moving about standing in a place that old. I still think about that dome sometimes when things get noisy at home.

Piazza Navona was our last stop: a swirl of artists, buskers, fountains sparkling under late afternoon sun. Marco let us wander here for a bit on our own. I sat on a bench eating a pistachio pastry from a bakery he pointed out earlier (can’t remember the name now), just watching people drift by in every direction. The whole walk took maybe three hours? Time slipped by faster than I expected. It always does when you’re somewhere you’ve only ever dreamed about.
