People standing like statues, staring at statues,
posing like the subjects of their snaps.
Crowds of people gather around a single bust,
so much to see, nobody in a rush.
Quick to take so many throwaway photographs,
of heritage, tradition, artefacts.
Experiencing the Old Masters for the very first time,
outlasting and impressing the biggest critic of all,
the test of time.
Marvelling at marble, becoming immersed,
in a world of canvas and stone.
Arguably outshining its capital, Rome.
