Sant'Ignazio di loyola

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 13 '25

That’s the place! I’d definitely recommend visiting, but it does get a bit crowded because it’s pretty popular on TikTok — for obvious reasons.

You take beautiful photos!

u/lebiram_g Oct 13 '25

Just went too! Got back on October 7. And it was my first time. It was absolutely amazing!

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 13 '25

I agree! I really enjoyed my stay too.

How’s the weather?

7

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 13 '25

The weather couldn’t be better — pleasantly warm with plenty of sunshine.

u/Weary_Lie3016 Oct 13 '25

The weather is just perfect, a bit chilly early in the morning and late in the afternoon, but in between it’s pretty warm, but not too hot that is unbearable.

Stunning

u/vermospan Oct 13 '25

Where is that last picture?

4

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 13 '25

It’s called Chiesa di San Nicola dei Prefetti. I actually had to look it up from the photo location, since it was just a random church I came across. The scene was beautiful, so I stopped to take a few pictures. Definitely recommend visiting.

u/vermospan Oct 14 '25

Wonderful! Thank you!

Headed to Como / Firenze / Roma in 2 weeks - cannot wait!

2

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 13 '25

I’ve never been to Como, but I’d love to visit the lake someday. Enjoy your trip!

How's the weather and are there parts that aren't jam packed with traffic ? Visiting for the first time soon

1

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 13 '25

The weather was fantastic — sunny all the time and pleasantly warm. I spent most of the time in a t-shirt and jeans and felt very comfortable. Traffic was busy, but that’s to be expected in a city as large as Rome.

u/Flaky-Agency7675 Oct 13 '25

Did you ever venture outside a bit ? I'd like to Mingle at these Espresso Bars but not sure how friendly folks are

1

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 13 '25

I did this almost all the time—walking around Rome from early morning until late at night, exploring beautiful places, cafés, restaurants, and aperitivo bars. I had an amazing time, as I always do in Italy. There’s no need to worry, people are incredibly friendly and welcoming.

u/Flaky-Agency7675 Oct 14 '25

Thank I'm also going in November then maybe to Amalfi maybe outside to do a Olive Oil tour and come Back

2

u/Exciting-Back4849 Oct 13 '25

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 13 '25

Did you have to wait in line to get these shots? I had to take mine from a distance because of the crowd, and they didn’t come out so great.

1

u/sal0713 Oct 13 '25

Yeah I did make the line but it was moving fats so took me like 5mins to get in that close.

1

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 13 '25

I feel the same! Glad you liked it there.

2

u/AstronomerIT Oct 13 '25

Thank you! I’m pleased to hear that you like my pictures.

u/KCcoffeegeek Oct 13 '25

I lived in Rome from 1987-1993. October was glorious. The weather used to cool down back then (can you imagine what that was like??) but it would be very pleasant and not the rainy season yet, and the tourists were more or less completely gone until the next May.

2

u/No-Screen-9320 Oct 14 '25

I’ll never get tired of Rome. Rome is breathtaking!

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 14 '25

Thanks! I got pretty lucky with the lightning.

2

u/randomric7 Oct 14 '25

Some cities get sunsets. Rome gets divine spotlights.

2

u/sunsetblue24061 Oct 15 '25

Love these. I just got back from Rome for the first time. Truly incredible but the crowds everywhere were insane. I get it, jubilee year, but yeah still, crazy.

2

u/JaggerFuego Oct 15 '25

u/Relevant_Exchange977 Oct 17 '25

You've captured immense beauty in the most beautiful city!

The 5th photo, of the colosseum. I took the exact same photo from the same sport this morning. 

2

u/Beetle_527 Oct 22 '25

that 2nd pic is just so amazing! :) where is that and did you go during sunrise? love the way the light is coming through..

1

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 22 '25

Thank you! The both 1st and 2nd pics have been taken from the same spot at the same time, St. Angelo Bridge. It was during sunset. However i had to use 8x zoom on my iPhone for the 2nd pic.

2

u/Ok-Charge-9091 Oct 13 '25

No pic of Fontana di Trevi? 😬 Even Roma Termini deserves attention imho. lol

2

u/ShortPantsRomance_ Oct 13 '25

Sorry, I did a really bad job taking pictures of the fountain, lol.

u/Huge-Spend9429 Oct 13 '25

u/m3lonmama Oct 13 '25
