In the 1970s, the streets of Rome were a blend of the old and the new. Cobblestone streets stretched beneath the shadows of ancient ruins, while modern cars buzzed past. The air was filled with the aroma of espresso from street cafés, and the sound of scooters zipping through narrow alleys. People dressed in the sharp fashion of the time, with men in tailored suits and women in chic dresses, adding vibrancy to the city’s historic backdrop.
Piazzas were lively, with street vendors selling postcards and souvenirs. At the same time, the city’s history lingered in the form of grandiose monuments like the Colosseum and the Pantheon, still standing proud amid the bustle of daily life. These vintage photos were taken by drmuonfunk that show street scenes of Rome in 1976.
