This photo shows a quiet street in Rome, lined with tall, pale buildings. The architecture has rows of shutters and small balconies, giving it a clean, orderly look. At the end of the street, a wide set of stairs leads up to a large square with a clock tower and statues. The photo is old—it looks faded and slightly torn, like a piece of history. The light is soft, making the buildings glow slightly against the dark sky. If you like this kind of city view, check out Romanticism.
