Kosmo Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 "On a recent chilly afternoon, Andrea Eluca was standing outside the Roman Forum dressed as a gladiator. Small groups of tourists passed by and smiled at his leather breastplate, sword and motorcycle helmet festooned with a red broom brush. But none stopped to pose for a picture. Winter is always tough going for gladiators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caesar novus Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 but this season is proving particularly tough..." I wonder if a recessionary springtime will be an ideal time to visit Roman sites. I went there a few weeks after the 9/11 disruption, and the lack of crowds gave you so much flexibility. Hotel space was always available at last minute, and negotiable at a fraction of usual price. You could stopover at Pompeii with a bunch of luggage and they had plenty of room to store it free. etc, etc... best Italian visit I ever had.
