A few words about myself

Hi,
thank you for visiting my website!
I was born in 1946 in Alexandria (Egypt). My family moved to Italy when I was a child and I grew up in Florence. I remember visiting the museum of Firenze com'era* (Florence as it was) and being very much impressed with the changes which had occurred over the centuries. I believe my interest in fitting into the past the monuments and the buildings of a city started then. This is a picture of myself at the time.

At school in 1955

I live in Rome in S. Saba. I worked for ExxonMobil's subsidiaries in Italy and abroad for more than 35 years. I am now fully devoted to improving my website, which is a pastime and not an academic work. The website is meant for armchair travellers and it does not provide guidance on practical matters related to journeys to Rome or other locations covered in the website.
I will be glad to get any comment you feel could help in improving this website at romapip@quipo.it or romeartlover@hotmail.it. You may wish to have your name in its Hall of Fame!
