The Most Beautiful Garbage Dropoff in the World

We rented an apartment on Via Farnese by the Farnese Palace at the corner of Via Giulia, in Rome.

Our front door was less than 10 feet from an arch designed by Michelangelo. I photographed it, stood under it, all the while marvellling at the fact that the arch is a work of Michelangelo.

When instructing us on the details of the apartment, our landlord casually informed us that garbage is picked up 3 times a day and that our assigned spot is on the street under the Michelangelo arch.

Where do you drop your garbage?
