Women everywhere color their hair. What's different in Rome--and maybe Italy generally--is that so many prefer red: often red highlights, but sometimes just plain red. For years I've observed this phenomenon with a mix of curiosity and pleasure, and for years I've been trying to capture it in a photograph without incurring the wrath of a jealous husband or boyfriend, inviting a visit to the questura or--always of primary importance--making a fool of myself. At a fair in Garbatella, I got away with this one. Bill
