Last day at Testaccio Market, my favorite people and “boxes” – the fruit girls, the coffee guy, the sandwich place, the mozzarella and prosciutto box, the whole scene. I’m going to miss it.

Last dinner out. At Charlie’s request, Felice, for their tiramisu. I’ll remember the veal cacciatore and the spaghetti Felice, as well as their very healthy pour.

Dean Martin – On an Evening in Roma
Como e’ bella ce’ la luna brille e’ strette
Strette como e’ tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di Roma
Down each avenue or via, street or strata
You can see ‘em disappearin’ two by two
On an evenin’ in Roma
Do they take ’em for espresso, yeah, I guess so
On each lover’s arm a girl, I wish I knew
On an evenin’ in Roma
Though there’s grinin’ and mandolinin’ in sunny Italy
The beginning has just begun
When the sun goes down
So please meet me in the plaza near your casa
I am only one and that is one too few
On an evenin’ in Roma
Don’t know what the country’s comin’ to
But in Rome do as the Romans do
Will you on an evenin’ in Roma?
Though there’s grining and mandolining in sunny Italy
The beginning has just begun
When the sun goes down
Como e’ bella ce’ la luna brille e’ strette
Strette como e’ tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di Roma
Don’t know what the country’s comin’ to
But in Rome do as the Romans do
Will you on an evenin’ in Roma?
Sott’er celo de Roma
On an evenin’ in Roma
