Via Margutta is one of those superlatively charming Roman streets, tucked behind Piazza del Popolo and lined with antique stores, art galleries, and ateliers. Oftentimes you can hear a saw going, or some sort of artistic work being done, and then a dog barks, and then a friend arrives and out comes some fantastically disheveled Roman greeting a friend in a gated stone courtyard. I took this on a July day, when the buildings were aflame in magenta and summer brights.
