Actually, a Lot of Europe was filthy dirty in the 70~80's....but then so was NYC and the way up to the US Supreme Court was weed infested cracked and broken concrete...very decrepit with derelict houses just a block away.
Times have changed, very much for the better...(sometimes I think we have it just way too easy now...full of 1st world problems and so we go off the tracks mentally and emotionally...I guess)
I agree this looks pretty darn good. I enjoyed the one time I was in Rome when I was in the army but since we travelled by rail from Frankfort we didn’t have a lot of time there. Less than a full day in fact. Only thing I didn’t like about Rome in the early 70s was it was filthy dirty. Paul
