Rome Travel part III

Once concluded the walk for these ancient ruins I purchased a book about the history and architecture of this town and their peculiar inhabitants, they were lovers of the arts manifested on their wall paint, with variety of motives of the life of the town. The city had several palaces, temples, and houses decorated with colonnades, staircases, and wells.

Next we move down to the port city of Naples at the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the city wasn’t appealing to the eyes, but the Bay-side was nice because of the great architecture dating from the Medieval Period. The city of Naples has several castles, palaces, fortresses, churches, and houses built to defend and as dwellings, of this port town of the Sorrento peninsula that has a beautiful horizon in contrast with the chaotic traffic and industry of this busy port. It was already 4:00 PM when we began our journey back to Rome I fall sleep all the way to the eternal city.
We had a dinner a local Trattoria I had a lasagna and salad complemented with a house wine, right the dinner was over a cuartet of singers made their way to the diner room. One guitarist player, one accordionist, and two singers, they move into the room singing “Funiculi funicula” a classic of Italy repertory; this made an immediate relief in everyone because the place was a little tense, perhaps the setting was to small or maybe the day to long, anyway, the effect was magical almost a soothing effect we all start clapping at the rhythm of the song, it was like an ice breaker. These quartet save the night very soon the mood changed, I did asked for two songs that I remember my mother use to play, she was the daughter of an Italian immigrant, who settled near by the mountainside, some 20 miles from a city named Arequipa, in Peru. The songs were “O sole mio” and “Torna Sorrento” after the performance everyone applauded them; it was a really intense moment perhaps a climactic point on the dinner. Tips were offer and their CD’s purchased, after wards we went back to the hotel.
