Sometimes you see things in Rome which start to make you think, “Only in Rome”. Here are a few of my favourites!
Unfortunately there’s no escaping the golden arches even in the Eternal City; but where else would you find a branch called “Pantheon”?
McDonalds - the Pantheon branch
How many scoops of ice cream is it possible to fit on one cone? I suspect not this many, though I have yet to ask for one of these…
Gelateria near the Via Tritone (if I recall correctly)
There are Smart Cars everywhere in Rome – they make sense in a crowded city. But as a wedding car? How does the bride’s dress fit in?! I spotted this outside Santa Maria sopra Minerva:
An unusual wedding vehicle
Roman Holiday calendars, fine. But where else but in Rome would you find a calendar of Hot Priests?! Also available… the Pope.
Hot priests calendar, anyone?
And of course the ubiquitous penis pasta. Don’t leave Rome without buying some for the folks back home 😉
