The soul of Rome echoes through time

"Rome," the name is like an ancient echo, lingering in my heart for a long time. I visited Italy three times in a year, and my second trip to Rome was like a wonderful old dream. When the crowds recede, the city reveals its true face. Here, time and space intertwine, stretching into a long scroll of civilization that spans thousands of years. The overwhelming history always makes people afraid of missing every magnificent relic that shocks the soul. When I first visited Rome, I was in awe, full of loss and melancholy for fear of missing something. But this time, I chose to embrace the eternal city with a calm and leisurely attitude. Apart from the must-see Colosseum and Vatican Museums, I let my feet go wherever they wanted. I wandered through the ancient streets and alleys, between the mottled stone walls and the scattered houses, and those regrets and obsessions of the past were quietly relieved in this leisurely walk. It turns out that the charm of Rome is not in the famous attractions that you rush to check in, but in every inch of brick and stone, every ray of light and shadow. This time, I am finally no longer a passerby, but a returnee who danced with the soul of Rome for a moment.
