A Room with a Splendid View in Rome, Italy

While in Rome, Italy during the last few days of my Mediterranean vacation, I stayed at the Rome Cavalieri Hotel. I chose this hotel because, while in elementary school, my class was assigned to write to our local bishop who was staying at the Rome Cavalieri while he attended the Vatican II conference. The bishop wrote back to all those who wrote to him, and I still have the two letters he sent me, the first dated 13 October 1965 and the second dated 27 November 1965.

The Rome Cavalieri stands atop Monte Mario in the northwest part of the city of Rome and commands an impressive view of the eternal city. The room itself was as incredible as the view.
