My heart leapt and my soul soared today as I stood here, overlooking Roman Ruins — masterpieces of technical engineering.

Of the beautiful archways at Terracina. The splendor and simplicity of Tiberius’ former palatial palace in Sperlogna.

The meeting of the ancient past and the present.

I’m finding pieces of me here. Pieces I didn’t know needed to be found.

Home.
