Rome, Italy “If you have no faith in me, have faith in what you see” (Cinema Paradiso)

Welcome to Episode #11 and the Eternal City of Roma.  This is the final chapter of the book share In the Shadow of a Cypress: An Italian Adventure and Season 1 on the podcast A Writer In Italy.  What a journey it has been.  These last days wandering around Rome from Piazza to Piazza sipping cappuccino and people watching in Piazza della Rotunda were full of delight and spontaneity.  The travelers dream day.  No real destination, just the beauty of turning into a hidden street and discovering the best gelato one has ever tried or a stationary shop to tempt the purchase of just one more journal to write in. The day has me wandering across Ponte Sisto to Trastevere in a reverie about life and how it is important to seek and create space for yourself.  I cannot help but reflect on the weeks that have captured something beautiful in Italy.Stay tuned to the absolute end of this share for details on Season 2 and the next episode to share in 2020, and books and my discoveries of a few Roman treasures of the 21st Century kind.  I do rattle on a little until I decide to just do it and share my inspirations before running off to the school gate.....© 2021 A Writer In Italy - travel, writing, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston, © 2021Please find Show Notes at: www.michellejohnston.lifePlease subscribe, rate and/or review if you enjoyed this podcast.Instagram:  @awriterinitaly and @theyellowhouse__About A Writer in Italy Podcast:Five years ago Michelle Johnston traveled to Italy to create space for herself and her writing.  Michelle traveled solo giving herself time to recalibrate after many years of parenting and life in general.  Leaving her husband to take care of the family she reconnected with her writing, her art and her love of travel.The adventure turned into the book and travel memoir...............In the Shadow of a Cypress: An Italian AdventureSupport the show
