First night in Rome; out for a stroll, trying to take in the reality of having actually arrived in one of my “bucket list” destinations. Impressed by the historic surroundings. Rounding a corner I see this tableau: a somewhat rougher part of town; a somewhat conspiratorial vibe as if the young man is waiting to be picked up as part of some nefarious event. A little slice of modern film noir, made more intense by the theatricality of the moment.
