That is not a daily Rome shot! That is the back of the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin. I have been there many times and taken that same picture.
Only the Rook prevents White Knight from ending the game. So attack the Rook:
1. Qf8 forcing RxQ
2. Ng6++
1. Qf8 wins. Next is either 2. Qg7# or if 1. … Rxf8 2. Nxg6#.
Lovely photo! What is this church’s name?
These last couple of “Rome” shots look an awful lot like La Crosse, Wisconsin!
Qf8
If RxQ then Nxp#
If Rf7, then NxR#
If anything else then Qg7#
