Sunday MorningEarly Bird Special
Soaking up the scenery
in splendid solitude,
in front of Bernini's
"Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi".
The venerated "Café de Colombia"
- renamed "Domiziano" -
is still my favorite place
to sit down and enjoy a cappuccino
or a glass of wine
in Piazza Navona.
Clicking on the images will take you first to an amateur video of a stroll at Piazza Navona, then on to various songs by the Italian cantautore - singer-songwriter - Francesco de Gregori, a native Roman. "Niente da capire" is my favorite, hidden behind the last image.

If I remember right that Bernini fountain is feathured in Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" a prequil to "The Da Vinci Code" and a real page turner. The movie will be out this summer with Tom Hanks in the lead.

ReplyDeleteI wonder why in the angels and deamons movie, the colombian flag and cafe de colombia was shown more than 7 times? paid advertisement?
ReplyDeleteI just came from seeing the movie in theater, and I wondered the same thing. More than 6 times the Colombian flag was shown and the sign "Cafe de Colombia" was displayed at least twice in the movie...what was that all about?
