Before we went to Rome I broke a ceramic figurine of sentimental value. I should have packed it, because one of our finds was Squatriti, this doll's hospital in the Via di Ripetta. It's not the sort of thing you look for, but it's typical of the unexpected things you come across while wandering in the city.
(Among the others were a religious parade by Rome's Peruvian community and
a modernist sports centre from the 1930s designed by Luigi Moretti.) Mercifully there is little of the crappy maiolica you see so much of in Florence, but if you like it, you can find it in Rome as well.
