Becoming Roman.


The great wise Israeli joke and proverb “We plan, God laughs”. I more get it when do journey. You never know what will next and therefore better to be prepared to popping out circumstances. I paid for a ticket to Rome in which I believe that I will celebrate Christmas and I’m going to stay in Italy till the next year.


I will move to my travel and presumably I willn’t take a laptop due to I can’t get a fulfilled experience with it and it will as I did before. I finished with this year and I’m switching off from the world for ultimate editing of my still unfinished projects in these winter days.


I already know that Romans want to do with me as Florentines did with Francesco de’ Pazzi. And it’s true, because I was in this city more ten years ago and wasn’t impressed by considering it as “a grey megapolis” due to occupation of modern colorless buildings. Probably, Rome was more beautiful a couple millenniums ago although it hasn’t poker and Jack Daniel’s. One of my purposes will discover that Rome and maybe it will change my mind. A capital of empire gave beginning to London and Paris.


My cognition will with visiting of food places. One of planned to be was Alfredo Alla Scrofa whose glory in invention of Fettuccine Alfredo, which Americans love. I’ve learnt on this dish in which I didn’t detect uniqueness. Pasta with a piece of butter and shredded parmesan is artificial powder into water. This dish for menu of roadside food places. I’m not amaze in that my fellow Americans have rapture to it. I love them, because I always was part of this country even my genetic test doesn’t indicate to it’s origin, but importance for Americans in food is that it must have an appetite look. Big Mac was victorious and put behind Whopper by having a big size in two patties. Creation of Burger King becomes beautiful for US citizens with two patties and more charming with three. Menu of Alfredo Alla Scrofa writes on Fettuccine Alfredo it has butter from the Langhe what doesn’t ring any care. Maybe, I’m a village boy since April 2020 whom organic butter can’t surprise.

I projected to have famous pasta with white wine, but I don’t see a harvest dates in menu and I don’t trust by that as together with everything most of them are cheap. Even my horses, which I haven’t, wouldn’t drink it.

Additionally, I wanted to buy a truffle, what I never tried, but I’ll do it in France. I have vast in guts that this promoted place, whose walls covered in celebrities visited it, takes more money. Although it is not expensive, but you willn’t see my portrait there.


I have second in guts on non-existing of a good Leonardo da Vinci museum in whole Italy. Mine written on it in Venice describes identical words in Rome and Florence.


I didn’t arrive in Rome whereas I’m already cynical. A hare, which I saw in Rodin Museum and did attempt to catch him by simple walking (I’ll be honest, I didn’t succeed in it.) as also and moreover detected rabbits in farm of Marie-Antoinette, when I tried to leave this place and was thinking to jumping out, made me to think about tenderness. It was with looking on rabbits. And this was until I did turn around and returned to mine usual worldview.


I can be happy by founding a family alcohol shop nearby of my hotel, which situating between Vatican and Castel Sant’Angelo. I’m going to buy a champagne. Maybe, you will see me in Christmas moment with opened bottle on Saint Peter Square although I’m thinking to use it in basilica, because can be cold on the street. However, I’m afraid that Swiss guards can come to me and ask for sip. Therefore I must be careful. Anyway, I never lived on a border with other country as well about prison too.
