Rome at night

Rome is a city that needs to be seen at night. Everything feels so much more grandiose and magnificent. I'm not Rome's biggest fan but I feel really lucky to meander its streets at dusk.
What's really nice about travelling in November is that it's low season for tourists. In other words, you have time to take a decent picture and you can enjoy the sights without being jostled around.
Another plus to the low-season is getting the chance to walk around the Colosseum. With no one around. Just you and almost 2000 years of history. I've never felt quite this awed - how young and insignificant are we compared to buildings that have stood the test of time?
