Italian Parking
seems to be more profound than it looked like...

Sidewalk interruption for trash cans @Procida, NA
Someone thought it would be acceptable to set up a metal wall with a barbed wired crown atop to hide the inside of his property in the Regional Park of the Appia Antica. How can the Superintendent for Roman archeology be OK with this uglification?

Italian style electrical installations - Rome Testaccio (Mattatoio)
insisting on private property rights - even if it creates an incredibly ugly situation - Rome Testaccio

park is private property. the city in the city. cctv. e.u.r. roma.
Antiterror waste disposal
