Love Caravaggios work. Two are in a church on the Piazza de Popolo. When I was there in June it was closed for repair. It houses the Crucifixion of St Peter and the Road to Damascus with St Paul. Amazing.

how did you manage to video the basilca? In the 70s and 80s i usually looked like a pack mule with lens bag, tripod, and two cameras...so they could see me coming. Other than battery limitations, todays camera phones are the way to go...no useless filters, lens wipes, remote cables or packs of film! That heavy OM 1, 2, and T just sit in foamed custom cases, looking pretty. Like Confederate statues they symbolize a bygone era. Waa. Nod to the forum and pet a kitty for me! I muchly prefer Florence (yeah Thursday!) or Naples, but this is fun.... traveling with you is great! Susan in Va

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

Just my phone. :)

[@bozersgal]

they allowed me to photo the Sistine in '77...but it was severely blackened from centuries of soot...now I hear the colors sing!

[@nancycy9039]

Travel steamers are great!

[@akontarini]

👍

[@rhoward454]

Sorry, We missed your live stream. We have walked so much of Rome today and I have been moved to tears in more than one of the basilicas.

[@akontarini]

good to see you!

[@valerierandall3640]

I’ve gotten behind on your videos this week and just catching up today. Sad that I missed your live!

[@akontarini]

👍

[@robstrck8]

No soup for you! 😂😂

[@patrician7445]

Good morning from Texas!

[@HumbleVoyager]

Hi, Tim! I'm sorry I missed the livestream. Usually I'm up and having my coffee, but not today! I never realized it before, but you are a coffee snob! I'm always thankful for instant coffee, just like I'm thankful for any coffee. Have a lovely time in Rome, Tim!

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

Yes. I wear the mantle of coffee snob proudly. LOL

[@akontarini]

@@TheNewRetiredMe good on you!

[@nancycy9039]

Yep, Atlanta in the house - late

[@mrs.grandmamaBrau]

I’m behind watching your videos. I’ve been in hospital and rehab for 3 months. Seeing you did declutterring videos, puts you near the top of my catch up video list.

[@PamHaynes-oo3ck]

Sorry to hear you were in the hospital. I'm praying for you. Take care. 🙏

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

I hope you are recovering well!

[@AngelaDavis-yz3xf]

Not that I'm volunteering but maybe in the future you can get a chat moderator.

[@JokerJeffro]

Pasticceria Boccione is the kosher baker in Rome I believe

[@nancycy9039]

Super chat

[@GoingGreenMom]

Ohhhh, food tour sounds amazing!

[@akontarini]

I am in!

[@robstrck8]

If you are able to get the burnt cherry cheesecake, would you please take a pic for me?😊

[@TheNewRetiredMe]

Pic. Video. It’s all coming. 😂

[@PamHaynes-oo3ck]

🫶🥰🥳

[@bozersgal]

maybe charm them into sharing a recipe!

[@GoingGreenMom]

On the kosher thing, to my understanding, you can't use dairy products in a meal that has meat in it. So cheesecake would only be served in a vegetarian meal.

[@akontarini]

that's true for my Jewish friends!

[@GoingGreenMom]

Lol, you have reasons to go back again! 😂

[@robstrck8]

No soup for you! 😂😂
