During his visit, he had explored several famous landmarks, including the Colosseum and the Pantheon. Just days before the explosion, he posted a message on Facebook, saying, &#8220;Arrived in Rome, trains, planes, buses and foot&#8230;EEAAASYYY&#8230; Accommodation is beautiful. Their pictures here, as mine do, do not do it justice. This should be a good week&#8230;if I don&#8217;t get killed in some ungodly way.
