If it's near the above, we'll see it tomorrow. Otherwise, I need to
look for it. Thanks!

Googling... I don't see a market and I'm wondering if it's even in
Rome now. There is more than enough to see and do in the City.

Yes, i think i was mistaken, i cant find my old annotated guide book to
rome and i googled some images and i think i may have been thinking of
'Trajan's Market" an old roman ruin that the emperor Trajan had built as
an actual market rather than the baths of Caracalla.

I think I'm going to like the surrounding countryside better than I
like Rome.

Tuscany. Trust me.

Thanks for sharing all the yummy pictures!
When I visited Italy almost 20 <sob> years ago, I felt duty bound to
sample the chestnut gelato (maroon glace) from as many different
vendors as possible. I recalled being very very happy.

Also if memory serves there was one gelato flavor called English Hat/
Capote Anglais <cough> I later learned that this is slang for condom.
So maybe my memory is off and it was creme anglais or something. I
think it had some cake in it. Anyone? ViLco?

vanilla and chocolate.
