Not only did the Romans welcome us with choruses, fireworks, and a free museum day -- they even held a marathon! Folks ran like hellfire and damnation all around the ancient areas and through the city. From the distance of the Capitoline museum, the yelling sounded like the audience cheering the toreadors in Carmen. Afterwards there was continuous music and performers -- we saw bellydancers and heard 1950s-ish singing. Good stuff.
