When visiting a new place, isn't it human nature to want to see as many famous sights and landmarks as possible?  Even if you tell yourself that you will return someday, you tend to think this is the only chance you get to do them all.  This may be especially true when visiting historic and culturally significant cities such as Rome.

Sometimes I am like that, but sometimes I do the complete opposite and just wander around with no concrete plans.  In fact I enjoy this way a lot more than the other as I often come upon a banal yet visually interesting street scene or a hidden alley where there's no tourists but only local people.

Streets in this painting, and others like "Roma Italia X" and "Roma Italia XXXVI", may never get mentioned in a travel guidebook but to me they are precious memories.
