It is needless to say that the technology in Rome varies vastly from Philly. Just a simple stroll through the residential areas around here can bewilder the mind of any American’s technologically advanced mind. Unlike the United State, Rome tends to be a little sloppy with the way that they present their electrical wires. The lighting around here in general is shockingly different.
One of the most notable technological/electrical sights I’ve seen here thus far is in our neighborhood here in Rome. It seems that I live in a neighborhood with a sort of ancient gothic theme because the source of lighting in my apartment complex comes from a massive chandelier that hangs from an arched walk way. I was stunned to see this unusual display for two reasons: its beauty and its hazardous potential. This heavy chandelier hangs from a series of cords that, I feel, could snap with a strong gust of wind. Close to the top of the arch are some exposed wires that could cause serious electrical problems if chewed on by some birds. But regardless of it’s danger, it think that it is sights just like this one that make Rome what it is. I appreciate the originality of this beautiful light fixture and an open air chandelier is defiantly something that will be hard to spot in the towns of Philadelphia.
