Modern Rome Construction

Even though I knew that Rome was not the same stone city from antiquities that I had studied for 9 weeks, I wasn't sure what to expect from modern Rome. Rome is a city full of history but it is also a living, working city. Over the week and a half, I looked for points of compromise between the old and the new and tried to capture a few in photos. These two photos show modern techniques of construction and enclosure to meet today's building needs but still reveal the antique building.
