From the living room, the view is
of the Hotel d'Inghilterra, once a royal palace of the
Torlonias. It has a handsome Renaissance facade. The
Torlonias leased it to the British Embassy for many
years, hence its name d'Inghilterra, Italian for
"British."
The ochre building that faces the hotel remains the
seat of the princely Torlonia family.
Via Bocca di Leone is in the
restricted traffic zone. It has a small open air market
and grocery store at the end that you can almost see in
the distance.

It is fun to gaze out the window at the comings and
goings of the elite guests of the d'Inghilterra.
We were amused by this handsome mime with a violin
who stayed perfectly still longer than we watched.

couldn't be fresher. When buying from such a vendor, the
customer doesn't touch the items but points to the
vendor which items s/he wishes to purchase and the
vendor picks them up, weighs and bags them. You
can order by the piece (pezzo) or by the kilo (2.2
pounds), half kilo (mezzo kilo) and for many items the
measure is the etto, 1/100 kilo.
