“Paris is more beautiful in the rain,” says Owen Wilson in Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris,” still my favorite film. I thought of this line when I checked the weather, seeing that Rome would be under gray skies for the next two days. I hoped the line about Paris would translate to Rome as well. Of course, it did.
Here are some photos of a rainy day in Rome, from Prati to the Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti (Spanish Steps), complemented with a panoramic video of the Fontana di Trevi. If you like what you see, please subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Lovely! I love the colorful assortment of umbrellas, too :)
Thank you :) Me too!
Through your camera’s eye rome is beautiful in any weather.
Thank you, my friend. I hope I was able to share the experience adequately with you.
Love how some of the alleys look eerily empty because of the rain. And the colors of the buildings/ground. :)
You are so with it. “Eerie” was what I
was going for and it wasn’t hard. I went back to the Spanish Steps today and it was
CROWDED!
Looking through these photos makes me wish I was back in Rome. Â Let’s meet for gelato at Giolitti’s.
Sure, my treat. :)
I was in Rome the second week of May. Unfortunately no rain, but it is romantic no matter what! I am enjoying your photos.
Thanks, Penny :) I tried very hard to capture the beauty of just being there. Have you seen this post? It’s my favorite. I swoon every time I see it:Â http://bit.ly/NlVfgn
