The Tiber River

This is one of the bridges leading to the Vatican. Rick Steves said the Romans built high walls around this river after it flooded in the 1800's and then ignored it. It didn't look ignored, but was full of Nigerian-looking men selling knock-off purses. We heard they were financing terrorists, and later when we got home, read the same thing in the newspaper. We didn't buy from them, but plenty of people did.
