The Kids of Rome


With all the photos I took, I actually made a point not to include too many "child photos" ("out in the wild", as everyone is suddenly saying). But here and there, some spunky, exuberant or stylish little kid would appear....

From reading, I understood there is a scarcity of kids in Italy, but I saw kids everywhere; facilities for children, too. Schools, toys stores, kids clothes and furnishings, etc. Parents out strolling with little kid and a toddler in arms as well as baby in stroller.



 
If you can't find real kids, your can find them as statues in museums. The baby above is strangling the bird, not cuddling with it!


This young family enjoyed the rose garden we saw  on one of our first long walks.



At Ostia, I think it was a school field trip day; the place was (almost) crowded with school classes visiting the ruins. The kids were well behaved (of course) but loud and boisterous, talkative, energetic and interactive with there teachers and each other; definitely not bored with their magnificent heritage.


At Piazzo San Cosimato playground, near our B&B, there were always so many brave, thrill-seeking toddlers on the (dangerous looking? old style?) equipment. Rocking back and forth as hard as possible.
