Ghosts of the Villa Borghese

5/5 ( ratings)

They stood on the Pincio Terrace, that place above the Piazza del Popolo with the commanding view of Rome. Beneath them, a thousand red-tiled rooftops stretched out across the ancient city, from the distant columns of the Coliseum to the glistening dome of St. Peters’ Basilica. To the west was the long, winding curve of the Tiber River where it came around past the Castel Sant’Angelo.
“It’s like we’re back on the Terrace of Infinity,” the young woman said.
“Yeah, but that was a little higher,” Garrett replied.
“Do you think Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck stood here?” she asked.
“Probably.”
“And Sophia Loren.”
“Most likely.”
“And Marcello Mastroianni and Roberto Rossellini?”
“Them too.”
“Such a romantic place!”
“It is.”
A warm breeze swept up from the city below and blew against their faces. In the distance they could see tiny black dots walking across plazas and sunlight flashing off the windshields of moving vehicles.
