When I was in Rome last year, Bernini's Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi in Piazza Navona was completely covered in scaffolding and under repairs, so I was denied a proper view of it. As Una and I took a walk through Piazza Navona today after orientation meetings, I finally got a glimpse of the fountain (along with hundreds of other tourists), finally stripped of its construction-site aesthetic - another sign of the complex relationship between change and preservation in this city. Also, not a bad way to begin the Roman summer/semester.
