“The church of the Santissima Trinità dei Monti, often called merely the Trinità dei Monti (French: La Trinité-des-Monts) is a Roman Catholic late Renaissance titular church in Rome, central Italy. It is best known for its commanding position above the Spanish Steps which lead down to the Piazza di Spagna. The church and its surrounding area (including the Villa Medici) are the responsibility of the French State.”

Now that is what I call a bench! Solid and sturdy with an incomparable backrest! Looks like a priest is using his iPhone?

One of my favourite places... Looking down the steps... Thinking of Keats...

The first time I went inside la Trinité des Monts, there was a wedding...

At least the guy is sitting down to do his texting instead of walking and running into people. But he'd be better off enjoying the view!
