With our Roma passes in hand, we road the subways everywhere. We returned from the Colosseum to find a political protest tasking place at Termini, with crowds chanting in unison and carrying a banner saying Medicina. Outside , the Carabinieri, or state police , were standing by. At no time did we feel threatened despite the crowds and noise, and the demonstration seemed pretty orderly. We explored the station, which was similar to Grand Central or Union Station, with shops and restaurants on three levels, and took pictures of the trains. Later, we saw a woman, middleaged, accosted by the police while taking pictures in the Metro station. Apparently, it is not allowed, picture taking. We were a little more aware of the threat of terrorism in Europe.
