Garbatella

Hi how are you all?

Great.

Two days ago I was taking a stroll around Garbatella, a lovely area right next to where I live. The place it's actually a mini-model-village inside the city, built by Mussolini (to show people how life ought to look like) or so I have been told. Anyway the area is charming. You see kids playing football, old people in the piazza eating ice cream, whole families out walking.. The ol' fascist dictator must be so proud that the core values are being upheld!
As I was walking down a street admiring the neighbourhood's mandatory imposing church I noticed .. a peacock walking towards me. On the street. A blue peacock. Right in front of me. We exchanged shocked glances. It possibly became bored after a while because it turned and walked into a garden, and just sat there. No one else in the vicinity was making a big scene about the exotic bird in the midst of the everyday domestic scen so I kept my excitement to myself.
But it was cool.

Ciao!
