"Now the square holds us,
not in flesh, but in recall.
Rome keeps what we lost."

Today's photo-of-the-day is of Piazza Navona in Rome. It was the first night of our whole family being together to celebrate Christmas in Rome. Little did we know it was to be the last such family vacation. We ate at an outdoor restaurant in the piazza. The piazza "is built on the site of the 1st century AD Stadium of Domitian and follows the form of the open space of the stadium in an elongated oval. The ancient Romans went there to watch the agones ('games'), and hence it was known as 'Circus Agonalis' ('competition arena')."
Bonus photos are after the jump.
