Roman rooftop potatoes

…of the Roman rooftop homestead tonight included baby potatoes with mint/rosemary/nettles pesto – harvested during a brief afternoon break in the rain – as a steady stream of red, green, and white flag carrying folks pass on the sidewalk below returning from Porta San Pancrazio (where Prime Minister Berlusconi and President Napolitano made appearances) next door and the overlook at Piazzale Garibaldi where there were festivities marking the 150th anniversary of a united Italy.
