(Scanned at 100dpi from own print.) This is a fountain and statue at Villa d'Este in Tivoli, which is 24km or so to the South-East of Rome (on Via Tiburtina---the people from Tivoli are called Tiburtini). Villa built in 1550 for Ippolito d'Este (son of Lucrezia Borgia and Duke Ercole I of Ferrara). Other ATE images of water and fountains may be from the same villa.

One of the most famous markets in Rome, Porta Portese (named after the gate which it is near to), the main flea market here. You can buy a bit of anything, from furniture to plastic flowers.

One of the ``talking statues'' of Rome, so called because people use them to express themselves (see all the writing behind, which gets periodically whitewashed to make room for new ``voices''). It is in Via del Babuino, and as for its story, I quote from the Cadogan guide: ``"...a fountain statue of Silenus by Giacomo della Porta, so ugly that the Romans named it the Baboon. Although the statue was long hidden through embarrassment, it has since resurfaced in all its mouldering, leprous glory, ludicrously topped with a new head and covered with loony graffitti, in front of the Greek Catholic church of Sant'Atanasio. By 1581 the whole street was named after this ape, except for the section near Piazza del Popolo that went by the even more ignoble title of Borghetto Pidocchioso (Fleabag Alley).''
