A quick post to mention a couple of recent updates to the website. First off, we’ve updated the page about next week’s Primo Maggio event, with details of some of the bands that will be performing. (If you’re not going to the festival, remember that you can still hear the music on Rai Tre).

The other update is the return of our map of Rome. It’s linked from the top of each page and features markers for the main sights around the city. Click on them to go to the relevant page in our sightseeing guide. The map’s a fun feature and we’ll be adding to it as Rome File grows.

Meanwhile, some interesting posts that I’ve seen lately on other Rome blogs include an encounter with Kurt Vonnegut at Princeton, an unpleasant encounter in Esquilino, and an encounter with destiny on Ponte Milvio.
