More reasons I love Roma:
1) free concert in celebration of Italian veterans and Andrea Bocelli's 50th birthday in Piazza del Popolo Sunday night. Thousands of people, Italian flags, glitter, disco lights, and ANDREA BOCELLI singing his operatic heart out. We sat on the back wall of the piazza, equivalent to the back row, and it was just so cool. Roman night, Romans, Roman concert. Beautiful.
2) torta di ricotta e cioccolato from the nameless Kosher corner bakery in the Jewish Ghetto. I think it really is my favorite single thing I've ever eaten.. and I have about 30 favorite foods and top food experiences including but not limited to the gnocchi in Sulmona, gelato a Napoli, carrot cake at that one bakery in the States, white hot chocolate at Civilization near the ukie muzej, etc, etc, etc. It's like a well-done white cake, except less cakey and a little bit more like a cookie, sort of, filled with tons of ricotta and melty chocolate-- like a cannoli filling, really. The best cannoli filling I've ever tasted. YUMMM.
