There was less time the final two days but I managed to squeeze in some short trots north of the University and looping back to my hotel. The heat was like a furnace (al forno) and shorter was definitely better.
Both of these runs made their way through the park/gardens of Villa Torlonia which was Mussolini’s house. There’s a bunker, there, as well and nearby it I retired the Crown and Wanker shirt that Brownie sent over some years back:

This 19th century pile in the park was part of the greenhouse and gardener’s quarters:

The residence of the Whatzit (Viscount? Duke?) of Tortoloni:
The park is at the top of this path for day 3:

Altogether, I managed to cover about 35 miles of Roman ground over the four days. Despite all that, I also managed to gain 5lbs (the food…the drink!).
