The Pincio Balconata is a panoramic terrace in Rome, situated above Piazza del Popolo, on the edge of Villa Borghese. It offers stunning views of the city, including the dome of St. Peter's Basilica. Designed in the early 19th century by Giuseppe Valadier, the terrace is surrounded by sculptures, trees, and a famous water clock. It is a popular spot at sunset and is freely accessible to visitors.

The Pincian Hill (Italian: Pincio) is a hill in the northeast quadrant of the historical center of Rome. The hill lies to the north of the Quirinal, overlooking the Campus Martius. It was outside the original boundaries of the ancient city of Rome, and was not one of the Seven hills of Rome, but it lies within the wall built by Roman Emperor Aurelian between 270 and 273. It is one of the border of the wonderful Villa Borghese. From here great view of the city and San Peter in particular.

I visited this warm look on one of my last days in Rome. Here, life is pulsating and people in droves want to watch the sunset. Couples meet to have a special time together. A place with a lot of wit.
