I had tried to find out about the rail access, to no avail, until reading your wonderful article. Thanks, too, for your tip on bringing lunch, and the pic of a cat just tops off a great desire to see Ostia again. Happy travels!

Does it close on Mondays?

I was especially happy to see Kiko because he had to be euthanised in June while I was at a wedding in the States because he collapsed with kidney failure which I had been treating for the last 4 years. I am right now in Southern AFrica with much access to Internet and I googled Piazza della Rocca where I live and was happy and sad to see Kiko. I am glad that you took that lovely picture of him. Thanks. Mary
