It was a busy day yesterday and we missed Photo Friday, so we’re making it up to you by featuring one of Susan Sanders fabulous images of Rome today, Saturday.
Taken in 2000, Trevi Shopper is a study in the arts of street shopping and fashionable self-presentation. In Rome, the bella figura is everything! Though it looks like all parties in this photo are entirely uninterested in the cheap souvenirs on display in front of the Trevi Fountain, in actuality, an intense negotiation over prices was underway when Susan snapped this shot.
Susan offers us the Trevi Shopper at the very moment that the Trevi Fountain is very much in our minds. Yesterday, vandals dyed the waters of the Trevi red. We’ve got that story here on Eternally Cool, as well as a longer article, called Trevi-Mania, that delves into the fountain’s history, asking why the monument has achieved such worldwide fame.
