Rome at Night

patta

gesperrt/ruhend
ROME after dark was once a perilous place, according to the satirist Juvenal, the dangers ranging from robbers to cutthroats to flying chamber pots. “There’s death in every open window as you pass along at night,” he wrote some 1,800 years ago. “You may well be deemed a fool, improvident of sudden accident, if you go out to dinner without having made your will.”
Dinner is perfectly safe these days, with street crime low and sewage securely underground.
