This movie actually made this area famous. The plaque shown in the following link is just across the street.

We are having a great time here, with me working and Gertrud playing tourist - LOL! Actually we were able to visit several famous Roman sites together on the weekend but there are simply too many sites as well as too many tourists. And since we have been in Rome several times before, I don't feel a need to see everything again.
The food in Italy really is fantastic (No Olive Gardens, Chef Boyardee nor Pizza Huts here!) We have especially enjoyed the wonderful vegetables, the Parma ham, the fish and the thin pizzas which are so delicious without being filling. We no longer regard Italian-American food as having much to do with real Italian food.
