the morning after. tiber river edition.

The Tiber River, once the critical trade route of Rome and the place, as legend has it, that Romulus and Remus washed ashore when they were thrown from the hillside, takes on an entirely non historic and unimportant role on weeknights. Come Thursday evening and into the wee hours of the Sunday morning it is transformed into clubland, with clubs composed of cardboard walls thrown up to house Italians and tourists alike who want to party on the banks of the famous river. An interesting scene at night is an even more interesting scene the next morning when the wreckage is left strewn along the sides of the walls.

For a city that has a very defined four part recycling system and fines you 350 euro for accidentally throwing away something that could be recycled this seems a little hypocritical.
