Umbertine architecture
I love the grandeur of these mid-19th century buildings flanking the Piazza Verbano and lining the Via Nemorense which cuts across it. Way in the deep background a glimpse of the Villa Ada public park is visible beyond the tall umbrella pines in the piazza's roundabout.
There's so much character in those buildings. Makes me sad when I think of the concrete slab buildings they throw up everywhere in my country now...
ReplyDeleteExcellent image. Very interesting photo. Greetings. Best regards.
ReplyDeleteIt must be fascinating to sit on one of those balconies and watch the bustling street below.
ReplyDelete"Umbertine" meaning created during the reign of King Umberto? The 1800?
ReplyDeleteI really like those buildings, what quartiere is this?
ReplyDeleteThe buildings are lovely, but I had to enlarge the picture to get a better look at those umbrella pines. They are so pretty, not like the pines around here at all!
ReplyDeleteLovely. The light is so clean and vibrant! All I see outside my window is grey. Basta!
ReplyDeleteQuite a temperature shock after the COLD of Sweden I guess! What a lovely area with beautiful buildings!
ReplyDeleteI like these buildings. I like that they aren't too tall.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed Sweden! Would be interesting to see your pics from Ostersund. Guess they drowned in snow up there.
You're right, magnificent architecture, the trees looks amazing too. Seems to be a nice area to live!
ReplyDeleteCiao.
I bet the beautiful view makes for a pleasant drive too.
ReplyDeleteLovely post to remind me Villa Ada.. ah I missed seriously being in Roma. I remember my coin still stands deep inside of Fontana di Trevi, maybe calling me again;)
