Narrative Essay About Life-Changing or Very Memorable Experience
Italy has been an attractive tourist destination for centuries. It offers gentle climate, beautiful mountains, picturesque sceneries, gorgeous coastline, and vibrant, historically and culturally rich cities, such as Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan to name only the four most popular tourist destinations in Italy. The capital city Rome is perhaps the most generous as far as monuments, museums and squares. By the seventeenth century, Piazza di Spagna was already famous throughout Europe. Piazza di Spagna - The Spanish Square - was named in honor of the Spanish ambassador whose residence was located nearby. In fact, in the beginning only half of it was named in honor of the Spanish whereas the other half was entitled Piazza di Francia - the French Square, again a tribute to the French sovereigns who were responsible for building the impressive cathedral Trinita dei Monti atop the Spanish stairs.

At number 26 one cannot help but notice a beautiful eighteenth century house overlooking the Spanish steps. "With eyes wide shut one can truly travel anywhere", I thought. " Everything was pulsing and I was right there, in the middle of it all, gazing at a superb nineteenth century house, filled with so much history that it could not possibly leave any of its visitors indifferent. The renowned Spanish Steps of the Piazza di Spagna (the Spanish Square) were decorated with brightly colored flowers. What I had experienced was definitely not a dream because the books on the shelves in my room were witnesses to the existence of these wonderful places I had seen and touched in my mind. It was one of those places that just sing to their visitors. I had always been keen on the idea of visiting John Keats' memorial house in Rome but little did I know this dream would actually come true one beautiful April day.
