We explored the vast archaeological park at Ostia Antica. I last visited this place in 2004, and I remembered a peaceful spot where you can vividly imagine life in an ancient Roman city. We found it much as I remembered, but even larger than my memory. We also explored a bit of the more touristy quarters of the city over the weekend to gauge for ourselves the accuracy of news reports of deserted streets. Tourists are still here but in much smaller numbers. On Saturday night we went to dinner – the restaurant was virtually empty when we arrived at 7 pm (only one other table filled) but started to fill out as we left. Then we stopped by St. Peter’s Square around 9 pm. Police and other official guards outnumbered the public by 20 to 1!
