From ancient
Rome, the triple arch of Constantine was built to celebrate the victory
of Constantine over the Emperor Maxentius 312 A.D. and the transition of Rome from the
pagan to the Christian world.
There are many convents that offer accommodation in Rome. We stayed at "Il Rosario," very near the Coliseum on our first visit. The sisters had a wonderful machine that dispensed many kinds of Italian coffees and hot chocolate for the guests. During our 2002 visit, my husband and I stayed at "Casa Beata Margherita Canani." It was a delightful experience and very convenient to the metro and the Vatican.
"La Frutteria" was found close to the Vatican. The displays in food shops in Italy are always works of art.

Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast I have been fortunate to visit Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast many times. The views of the Bay of Napoli, the scent of the lemon trees, the wonderful food and the kind hearts of the people, are my fondest memories.
