Forgive and …Repaint

Perdonami Graffiti in Rome

Someone in Trastevere must have found themselves in hot water with someone they love recently.  The situation drove them to the streets, where they sprayed this charming sentiment on a wall in Via dei Salumi.

The large word reads “Perdonami” or “Forgive me,” while little signs sticking up from the top of the balloon surrounding the word read “Ti prego” or “Please” and “Ti amo” or “I love you.”

We noticed it a few days ago and thought it a lovely way to apologize — though we wondered if the apology had been accepted.  By yesterday, a response had been scrawled to the lower right in gold spray paint.  It reads, “Sono solo pazzo di te,” or “I’m only crazy about you.” (see photo below)

We’re guessing that paradise has been regained.

Barcelona Wins the UEFA Championship in Rome

Barcelona Fans celebrating the UEFA Championship in Rome

It’s hard to imagine that anyone in the world didn’t hear the noise and the celebration last night when the Barcelona soccer team won the UEFA Championship in Rome.  They were the underdog, but they beat Manchester 2-0.

As expected, crazy celebrations ensued.  We love the sheer joy depicted in this photo of Barcelona fans in the Trevi Fountain.

For more on the lead up to the UEFA Championship, see our photos of the Colosseum made of Heinekin beer bottles in the Termini train station and an article with information about the champions village that was constructed around the Colosseum.
