I've heard that there is much scaffolding around buildings and statues because of a festival next year. We arrive 26th October....Will it be spoilt for us to see sights in Rome?

Hi all. I was on the spanish steps today (July 10, 2019) around 8:30PM (2030). There was a blonde woman in a shiny dress singing with back up dancers. A camera man and photographer were following her around. I ask and was told she is famous. I can not figure out who she is. Please help! It is driving me crazy trying to figure out who she is. Thanks!

help anyone! I was at the Spanish Steps either 13/9 or 14/9 in the evening and there was a young male busker playing the violin and he was doing covers of current songs like Ed Sheehan and Adele. He was selling CD's and I bought one but lost it and now want to try and find out his name so I can try find his music online. If anyone knows his name or what his CD is called please reply. He is supper talented and I really wanted the CD for home but can't find it amongst all my unpacking :( . Thanks in advance
