Thunder and lightening and flooded roads all the way today. Even the Colosseum looked subdued in the rain with hardly a soul in sight. The Via Appia Roman road, difficult in dry conditions, too risky. And finding aternative paths almost as bad with the inevitable 'gated' entry to roads not showing on the map. From experience I find this so typical of Italy.
Latina is second only to Rome in Lazio. Clearly a new town but it has a good center and a bit of atmosphere. Boy racers in noisy cars screaching around the Piazza della Libertà square.
Mussolini ordered this town to be constructed. Apart from the name there is nothing Roman here.
Drenched today and rain forecast tomorrow.
