More curious Roman Customs...


People tend not to believe me when I tell them that folk leave votive offerings at the statue of Julius Caesar on the Via Fori Imperiali when the Ides of March comes around again.

More Marian graffiti!
The one on the right is simple enough - 'Our Lady, we love you!'. The one on the left is more dubious. 'Viva the Madonna. God doesn't have a gender, but if she did it would be feminine.'

I don't know if these graffiti are more blasphemous or ironical...

Is a nonsense in italian language... Probably some stupid peoble. But unfortunately also write anywhere on the walls is a tradition that dates from ancient rome ... Not all that remains of the past is a good thing here in Italy XD
