Basilica di San Vincenzo in Prato
Walk to the Basilica di San Vincenzo in Prato. The Palaeo-Christian stone faces west, catching the final glow of the sun as it dips below the horizon toward the WSW.

End the evening at So Natural, a nearby café with a welcoming atmosphere. It is open late enough to stay for a nightcap or a final gelato as the city settles down.
