Street Sweeper

A few days back I took some friends visiting from Texas to see the Pantheon in central Rome. It is the best-preserved of all Roman buildings, and been in continuous use throughout its 2,000 year history. Regardless, standing in front of this incredible building was a female street sweeper in her "Uniform of the Day." From local police to street sweepers, all public employees have designer duds, and for the most part, all public employees spend much of their day checking their cellphone messages, and this one was no exception.
