Roman Advent Calendar 2013: Stairs

Advent begins December 1st and so does my Roman Advent Calendar for 2013. 

You can check this blog every day until Christmas, and if you wish, count the stairs and count the days until Christmas. It has been fun taking pictures of stairs all over the Eternal City. 

These stairs lead into our apartment building in Garbatella..
