Bernini's marble elephant carrying an obelisk on its back, in front of an ochre facade hung with Italian and EU flags. The excavated temple ruins of Largo di Torre Argentina in Rome, broken columns and stone platforms below modern street level. The coffered dome of the Pantheon with a shaft of sunlight coming through the open oculus. The Trevi Fountain seen from below, its marble figures and rearing horses under a deep blue sky. Piazza Navona in Rome, the obelisk and Sant'Agnese in Agone above the square, people crossing the paving in bright sun. The Tiber curving between tree-lined embankments, a bridge crossing it and St Peter's dome on the skyline. An arched stone bridge over the green Tiber, the rooftops and towers of Rome rising behind it. Castel Sant'Angelo across the river with a marble sculptural group on the bridge parapet in the foreground. The outer wall of the Colosseum, two tiers of arches curving away against a clear blue sky. The Colosseum from close below with the sun flaring over its upper cornice. A view over the Roman Forum from above, ruined columns and foundations among trees with the Colosseum beyond. The Roman Forum seen along its length, standing columns and paved ruins with domes and towers of the city behind. Rooftops and terraces of central Rome from above, ochre and cream buildings running back toward the Vittoriano. The columned portico of the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina in the Forum, its architrave inscription still legible. The white marble Vittoriano monument with Italian flags flying at either end against a deep blue sky. A high view down Via del Corso, straight between rooftops and palazzi, with the hills beyond the city on the horizon. A bronze quadriga on the roof of the Vittoriano, winged Victory driving four horses against an empty blue sky. Castel Sant'Angelo across the Tiber, framed by plane tree leaves, with graffiti along the embankment wall below. The Palace of Justice in Rome seen through a frame of leaves, its sculpted facade above the river embankment. The Fountain of Neptune in Piazza Navona, the god raising his trident over a sea creature, cherubs and a lion mask on the basin below. A terracotta sculpture of a winged angel embracing a bearded man, lit warmly against a pale wall. The interior of the Colosseum from the upper tier, the exposed hypogeum passages and tiered seating curving away. Two red Frecciarossa high-speed trains standing nose to nose at a station platform under a glazed roof. A narrow Venetian canal between tall stuccoed houses, small boats moored along it and the buildings mirrored in still green water. A canal in Venice seen through a stone archway, a further bridge visible down the waterway beyond. A Venetian canal with a gold and red banner hanging from a balcony, a blue wooden boat moored below. A moored gondola under its blue cover beside striped mooring poles, San Giorgio Maggiore across the water behind. A gondolier in a white shirt standing at the stern of his gondola on a narrow canal, the boat's red velvet seats in the foreground. A large oleander in pink flower filling a small sunlit square on Burano, coloured houses on either side. The ruined brick buildings of an abandoned lagoon island standing among trees, seen across flat pale green water. A row of Burano houses in ochre, red, blue and green along a canal, small boats moored in front and people walking the quay. Two adjoining house fronts on Burano, one scarlet and one turquoise, with grey shutters and a window box of pink flowers. A bright yellow house front meeting a green one, a blue curtain hanging in the yellow doorway. A bougainvillea in full magenta flower spilling over a stone garden wall, lit from behind. A bronze centaur sculpture with a raised spear standing among the excavated ruins of Pompeii. A white catamaran under bare mast on a flat calm sea, the horizon hazing into the sky. The Faraglioni sea stacks standing off Capri in deep blue water, the cliffs of the island rising behind them under a clear sky. A crowded beach in a small cove, sunbathers and umbrellas along the sand and boats anchored in the turquoise water beyond. The harbour at Capri from above, boats moored along the breakwater and clear turquoise water below steep green cliffs. A limestone cliff dropping straight into brilliant turquoise water along the Amalfi coast, swimmers in the shallows below. A large motor yacht running along the Amalfi coast, terraced mountains rising steeply behind it. A superyacht at anchor on flat blue water, a red helicopter on its upper deck and a jet ski alongside. A cliff-side building and stone arch built into the rock above the sea, a lens flare across the frame.
