Italy: Tivoli

Submitted by Lara Wood on the 2022 spring semester program in Rome, Italy…

Living in the city of Rome can sometimes be a little bit more fast paced than I am used to. Luckily, there are many beautiful places nearby that I am able to easily head off to. This past weekend, a couple of friends and I went on a day trip to Tivoli in search of some greenery. Tivoli was absolutely beautiful! In this little town to the east of Rome, we were able to find more than just gorgeous waterfalls, overlooks and ancient ruins. We got to enjoy the wholesomeness and peacefulness of the town. Families with dogs, a child’s birthday party (which consisted of lots of confetti and dancing), friendly local cats, and helpful strangers made this trip one of my favorites so far!
