10 INCREDIBLE THINGS TO DO IN ROME<br />
Pottery Workshop in Rome<br />
for Beginners<br />
One of the many Italian excellences is the art of<br />
ceramics, known and exported all over the world.<br />
Although this art is not central to Rome, as it is to<br />
other cities in Tuscany or Emilia Romagna for example,<br />
the Italian capital is certainly not lacking in artists,<br />
craftsmen, handmade products, attention to detail and<br />
creativity. This workshop offers the opportunity to learn<br />
the fine art of pottery directly from local master potters<br />
in the beautiful Monteverde area. Get your hands dirty<br />
with clay, learn how to use the wheel and make whatever you like to take home your own<br />
‘made in Italy’ pieces with you.<br />

steps completely deserted. Enjoy a cappuccino and<br />
an Italian croissant while the dome of the Vatican is<br />
highlighted by the rising sun. Pictures will be amazing<br />
with first the moon and then the sun coming up.<br />
There are so many things to do in Rome that sometimes it gets<br />
overwhelming to decide on what to do. From visiting the Vatican<br />
Museums at night to going thrift shopping in Monti, we’ve got you<br />
covered with a selection of 10 incredible things to do in Rome.<br />

You cannot go to Rome and not try gelato — it would<br />
be a sin! But if you want to top that, you can learn how<br />
to make authentic gelato, and be fully immersed in the<br />
delectable tradition of Italian gelato. Gelato classes in<br />
a real, working gelateria are not too hard to find. But<br />

(and learn to make it)<br />
Not eating pizza in Italy must be close to blasphemy.<br />
A trip to Rome is incomplete without trying real Italian<br />
pizza, and lucky for you, Rome offers a plethora of<br />
different types. Whether you want a whole pizza to<br />
yourself at a restaurant, a sample of different cuts of<br />
pizza while on the go (al taglio), or if you want to try<br />
the original roman pinsa, you are sure to be satisfied.<br />
And while you’re at it, why not learn how to make your<br />
own pizza with a master pizzaiolo by your side?<br />

Visit the Vatican by Night<br />
Visiting the Vatican is an obvious must on the list, but<br />
the crowds, fast-pace, and vendors during the day<br />
might hamper the beauty that Vatican City has to offer.<br />
That’s why we suggest seeing The Vatican lit up by<br />
night, for a truly unique experience. Not only is the<br />
Vatican magnificent to see under the stars, but going<br />
at night ensures fewer crowds for a more personal<br />
feel. Interested in an exclusive night time tour? Check<br />
out this offer and book below!<br />
Thrift shop in Monti<br />
Brooklyn is to New York as Monti is to Rome. Monti,<br />
just around the corner from the Colosseum, is one of<br />
the hippest quarters in Rome, with its cool bars, vegan<br />
restaurants, and local designers. What is truly the star<br />
of the show in Monti is its amazing thrift shopping.<br />
There are a multitude of different thrift stores in Monti<br />
that have one of a kind pieces, and the stores are a<br />
bunch of fun to sift through.<br />
Visit Villa Medici<br />
09 10<br />
Villa Medici is an elaborate villa at the<br />
edge of Rome’s Borghese Gardens. The<br />
villa was once owned by the infamous<br />
Medici family, but now it is owned by<br />
the French state and acts as the French<br />
Academy of Rome. With its enviable<br />
position overlooking the entire city,<br />
exquisite 18 acres of gardens filled with<br />
fountains and sculptures, acclaimed<br />
artists in residence and sophistication<br />
and cultural heritage owing to its twothousand-year<br />
history – is truly a Roman<br />
experience you will not forget.<br />
Grab a drink with a<br />
view in one of Rome’s<br />
rooftops<br />
There is something about a Roman night<br />
that is sensual and inviting. Take advantage<br />
of this unique essence by grabbing a<br />
refreshing cocktail at one of Rome’s many<br />
rooftop bars. Sample expert mixology with<br />
a view of the city by moonlight — it’ll be an<br />
unforgettable experience, I promise.<br />

The Ultimate Guide to Testaccio<br />
Neighbourhood in Rome<br />
The Testaccio district of Rome, although<br />
not as well-known as other riverside<br />
neighbourhoods such as Trastevere or<br />
the Jewish Ghetto, is an area not to<br />
be excluded from one’s itineraries. The<br />
area, an old port where all the food<br />
used to be funnelled into the city, is built<br />
around Monte dei Cocci, a huge mound<br />
of discarded ancient Roman amphorae<br />
where the imported food was kept.<br />
Testaccio is a Roman quarter at heart,<br />
rich in history, culinary experiences to<br />
be had - the area is now considered<br />
one of the bastions of excellence of<br />
Roman cuisine - and fantastic places to<br />
visit. Some of these are: the Pyramid of<br />
Cestius, a Roman-era Pyramid, the noncatholic<br />
cemetery, hosting philosophers<br />
and poets that have marked western<br />
literally culture eternally, the former<br />
slaughterhouse, il Mattatoio, now a<br />
contemporary and modern art museum,<br />
the Villaggio Globale, a cultural centre<br />
home to an artisan and independent<br />
designer community and much more.<br />
For the foodies among you, the local<br />
food market is unmissable, as well as<br />
some of the restaurants and bars in<br />
the area, some of which are the best in<br />
town!<br />
We have put together this article to<br />
guide you through your food, drink, and<br />
sightseeing options.<br />

PERILLI<br />
Via Marmorata, 39<br />
Tue - Sat 12.15pm-3pm; 7.15pm-11.15pm; Sun<br />
12.15pm-3.30pm<br />
facebook.com/perilliatestaccio<br />
Perilli has been around since the early 1900s and<br />
is a Roman institution. Simple, elegant, quiet and<br />
unpretentious is how this restaurant can be best<br />
described. The classic Roman primi: carbonara,<br />
amatriciana and gricia, as well as typical secondi:<br />
abbacchio al forno and coda alla vaccinara are<br />
always prepared with the care and attention that<br />
distinguishes Perilli.<br />
DA FELICE<br />
Via Mastro Giorgio, 29<br />
Open daily 12.30pm-3.30pm, 7.30pm-11.30pm<br />
feliceatestaccio.it<br />
Every dish ordered from Da Felice’s menu is like<br />
a love story. Every bite augments your feelings<br />
towards that recipe, just like loving a person more<br />
and more each day. Let your gustatory perception<br />
interpret the same experience as kissing someone<br />
for the first time after wanting to do it for so long.<br />
Once you have that last forkful of creamy tonnarelli<br />
cacio e pepe, nothing can be compared to it<br />
PIATTO ROMANO<br />
Via Giovanni Battista Bodoni, 62<br />
Open daily (except Sundays) 12.45am-3pm;<br />
7.45-11.30pm<br />
piattoromano.com<br />
At Piatto Romano we get to the ultimate level of<br />
Roman cuisine. Although not much of a location, the<br />
cuisine is extraordinary and veraciously Roman with<br />
excellent raw materials perfectly paired in mouthwatering<br />
dishes. The wild herbs, the mallow, the<br />
cacio e pepe peppered on the spot at the table in<br />
front of the customer...the ricotta and visciole cake,<br />
maybe one of the best in Rome and the artichokes...<br />
insane!<br />
IL GROTTINO<br />
Via Marmorata, 165<br />
Open daily (except Tue) 6.30-12.30am<br />
ilgrottinoatestaccio.it<br />
Il Grottino is a cosy and spartan little pizzeria. On the<br />
menu, excellent roman fritti (fried foods) and pizzas<br />
(thin crust, as per the Roman tradition) – made with<br />
typically roman ingredients and roman philosophy<br />
as the artichokes and Roman pecorino cream pizza<br />
testifies. There is in general an abundance of goodquality<br />
ingredients at this place.<br />
OSTERIA FRATELLI MORI<br />
Via dei Conciatori, 10<br />
Open daily 12.30pm-2.30pm; 7.30pm-11.30pm<br />
osteriafratellimori.it<br />
Inspired by traditional Roman cuisine, Osteria<br />
Fratelli Mori embraces passion and tradition by<br />
cherry picking most of the ingredients from the<br />
respectful Testaccio market. Recipes handed down<br />
have been travelling hand in hand to create dishes<br />
like spaghetti alla carbonara, tonnarelli cacio e pepe<br />
and trippa alla romana, all customized and signed<br />
by the family’s cooks.<br />
FLAVIO AL VELAVEVODETTO<br />
Via di Monte Testaccio, 47<br />
Daily 12.30am-3.30pm; 8-11pm<br />
ristorantevelavevodetto.it<br />
This popular osteria is carved inside the<br />
neighbourhood’s manmade mound of ancient<br />
amphoras. Just as spectacular as its location is<br />
Flavio’s authentic, no-frills Roman cuisine: try their<br />
tonnarelli cacio e pepe, coda alla vaccinara (oxtail<br />
stew), polpette di bollito (fried meatballs), and<br />
award-winning rigatoni alla carbonara.<br />
PECORINO<br />
Via Galvani, 64<br />
Open daily 12am-11pm<br />
ristorantepecorino.it<br />
This trattoria in Testaccio is very quaint, with<br />
courteous, fast service and excellent classic dishes:<br />
great amatriciana, fried artichokes, abbacchio<br />
scottadito and chicory, or involtini for a jollier dish.<br />
The restaurant is on three levels, and the small<br />
room on the ground floor is small and cosy.<br />
MERCATO TESTACCIO<br />
Via Aldo Manuzio, 66b<br />
Mon-Sat 7am–3.30pm<br />
mercatoditestaccio.it<br />
Try fresh produce at this local food market. Hop<br />
from box to box, eating standing up and at the bar<br />
counters, or get food from different stalls and sit at<br />
the central seating area. Especially recommended<br />
at the market are Mordi & Vai, Mani in Pasta and Da<br />
Corrado. Mercato Testaccio is the perfect place for<br />
a lazy foodie day out with the locals.<br />

Piazza dell’Emporio, 1/2<br />
Open daily 6pm-2am<br />
vinificionaturale.it<br />
Vinificio is a new really cool and really good place<br />
in Testaccio. It is large, comfy, classy… they have<br />
a wide and careful selection of local and foreign,<br />
natural, wines and succulent snacks and more<br />
elaborate dishes to pair them with. Definitely worth<br />
a try for aperitivo or even dinner!<br />
TRAM DEPOT<br />
Via Marmorata, 13<br />
Sun,Wed,Thu 8am-12pm; Fri-Sat 8-2am<br />
facebook.com/TramDepotOfficial/<br />
With Tram Depot you’ll experience the memorable<br />
tram ride that transports people not with four<br />
wheels but with countless drinks. Enjoy the<br />
Testaccio neighbourhood by sitting on the garden’s<br />
retro chairs and sipping tropical cocktails or fresh<br />
beers. Just pop by after dinner or after a long walk<br />
around the Eternal City.<br />
VIA DI MONTE TESTACCIO<br />
Testaccio has different options for nightlife: several hot spots are carved out of the ancient hill of Monte dei<br />
Cocci or there are other options one after the other on Via di Monte testaccio, which makes it easy to go<br />
from one club to another.<br />
If you want to dance, try Shake (Via di Monte Testaccio, 35), Caffe Latino (Via di Monte Testaccio, 96) for<br />
south american vibes and Caruso Cafe (Via di Monte Testaccio, 36), known for its late-night salsa and<br />
merengue. Most clubs open at 11pm and many are closed on Sundays. Check their websites for details!<br />
OASI DELLA BIRRA<br />
Piazza Testaccio, 38/41<br />
Mon-Sat 8.30am-12am, Sun 6pm-12am<br />
facebook.com/EnotecaPalombi1917/<br />
During the day this family-run store operates as a<br />
delicatessen and restaurant, but from 4:30pm on it<br />
transforms into a chill, laid-back spot for drinks. An<br />
impressive selection of wines is available, but Oasis<br />
della Birra (Beer Oasis) specializes in, you guessed<br />
it, beer. Italian and international brands (including<br />
six pages dedicated to Belgian names) as well as<br />
around a dozen on tap options make ordering here<br />
a delightfully dizzying task.<br />
CH1887<br />
Via di Monte Testaccio, 30<br />
Wed-Sun 12.30pm-3pm, 7.30pm – 12am<br />
facebook.com/ch1887<br />
Simone Mina’s concept was to create an imaginary<br />
museum of liquids in this hidden space located on<br />
the second floor of Checchino dal 1887, a restaurant<br />
that has been around for 130+ years. Taking<br />
inspiration from his family and the surrounding<br />
neighborhood of Testaccio, Ch1887 combines food<br />
and cocktail culture, by experimenting with flavors<br />
and ingredients that can be found in traditional<br />
Roman dishes.<br />
PHOTO EXHIBITION IN TESTACCIO<br />
9-11 <strong>May</strong><br />
Viavai, Via Galilleo Ferraris 15<br />

The cultural association Urban Photo Hunts, which has<br />
been organizing workshops, photo walks and exhibitions<br />

very active cultural space Viavai, a creative studio, meeting place, showroom and pop-up store in the<br />
heart of beautiful Testaccio.<br />

NON-CATHOLIC CEMETERY<br />
Via Caio Cestio, 6<br />
In Testaccio there is a beautiful cemetery, a place<br />
of quiet and peace that gently pulls you away from<br />
the city traffic. The cemetery is surrounded by<br />
greenery, full of stories, poets, philosophers from<br />
all over the world who by chance in the course of<br />
their lives found themselves in Rome. Among the<br />
most famous names are the poets John Keats, and<br />
Shelley, and also the great Italian philosopher and<br />
politician, Antonio Gramsci.<br />
VILLAGGIO GLOBALE<br />
Lungotevere Testaccio, 1<br />
facebook.com/villaggiooooglobale/<br />
The Villaggio Globale is a bastion of underground<br />
culture for those who grew up in Rome, a former<br />
music venue, a cultural and social centre and<br />
a place of creativity and community - where<br />
independent artisans and designers from all over<br />
the world, often following migratory flows, produce<br />
and display their art. A place definitely off the<br />
beaten path, interesting, and well worth a visit.<br />
MATTATOIO (FORMER MACRO)<br />
Piazza Orazio Giustiniani, 4<br />
mattatoioroma.it<br />
For more culture, visit Rome’s former<br />
slaughterhouse, il Mattatoio, originally a complex of<br />
pavilions used for the slaughter and distribution of<br />
meat destined for the capital, and today restored<br />
into a majestic architectural piece and used for the<br />
exhibition of contemporary art, featuring shows and<br />
events all year round.<br />
CITTÀ DELL’ALTRA ECONOMIA<br />
Largo Dino Frisullo<br />
cittadellaltraeconomia.org<br />
The Città dell’Altra Economia is a mini-city of<br />
art, a place of anti-commercial culture within the<br />
evocative spaces of the former slaughterhouse<br />
(mattatoio). Its goal is to create solidarity among<br />
people with a common interest in low environmental<br />
impact. The complex covers 3,500 square metres<br />
where organic farming and fair trade markets<br />
are held; training workshops; and also concerts,<br />
festivals and parties.<br />
PYRAMID OF CESTIUS<br />
Via Raffaele Persichetti<br />
The Pyramid Cestia is a Roman tomb in the shape<br />
of an Egyptian-style pyramid built in Rome between<br />
18 and 12 BC. It is located in the immediate vicinity<br />
of Porta San Paolo and is incorporated in the<br />
perimeter of the non-Catholic cemetery. The tomb<br />
cannot be visited at the moment, but if you are in<br />
the area it is worth a look, even if only from the<br />
outside.<br />
TEATRO VITTORIA<br />
Piazza Santa Maria Liberatrice, 10<br />
teatrovittoria.it<br />
The Teatro Vittoria is part of the cultural heart<br />
of the neighbourhood. Active for more than<br />
a century, it continues to entertain residents<br />
and passers-by in the neighbourhood with<br />
sophisticated shows. “Laughter with class” say the<br />
reviewers, “professionalism of the highest order”,<br />
“programmes that are never banal and intelligent”...<br />
and what a joy it is to go to the theatre!<br />

Eating out of town<br />
beautiful locations outside of Rome<br />
Start your engines, recharge your cars, and download a nice playlist on Spotify: today we<br />
are eating outside of Rome. It only takes a 40-to-90-minute drive to get into beautiful natural<br />
landscapes, with a lot of greenery and animals, sandy beaches and iodine-rich wind. From the<br />
Castelli to the Agro Pontino via the coastline, you are spoiled for choice on the maps for spending<br />
a Sunday out of town, both in terms of destinations and in terms of dining: the surroundings of<br />
Rome indeed offer dozens and dozens of incredible restaurants, pizzerias and bakeries.<br />
Here are our 10 favourites.<br />
EATING OUT OF TOWN: BEAUTIFUL LOCATIONS OUTSIDE OF ROME<br />
p<br />
Federica Feresin<br />
Li Somari<br />
Trattoria Fuori Porta<br />
Via Ponte Gregoriano, 1 - Tivoli<br />
0774.282499<br />
An old stable that housed donkeys in the<br />
historic centre of Tivoli is the new bet of<br />
Andrea La Caita, former partner and founder<br />
of, among others, Rome’s new two-star<br />
Michelin Acquolina at The First Roma Arte<br />
Hotel. He has involved his friend Adriano<br />
Baldassare in running the kitchens of Li<br />
Somari, much more than an out-of-town<br />
trattoria. Here, in fact, Baldassare explores<br />
a cuisine rooted in the territory. Li Somari’s<br />
menu changes frequently according to what<br />
the market offers. On the menu you will<br />
find traditional dishes reinterpreted with a<br />
contemporary twist.<br />
Portale 21<br />
Opificio di Cucina<br />
Via Rodolfo Morandi, 32 - Marino<br />
Tel. 0694837668<br />
In Marino, Valentina Pacifici wins over locals<br />
with young, pop cuisine. At her Portale 21,<br />
in a large, bright space that spans over<br />
the indoors and outdoors, you can enjoy<br />
tapas with an Italian flair. The beef crudo is<br />
insane, along with the vignarola, pecorino<br />
and crispy artichokes, as well as the veal,<br />
sweetbread with butter, agretti and garlic<br />
and the amazing Apulian focaccina made by<br />
Valentina enriched with pistachio mortadella,<br />
Roman-style artichoke and smoked<br />
scamorza. But don’t stop at tapas: keep<br />
ordering first courses such as home-made<br />
tagliolini with black pork lard, chestnuts and<br />
peat. Also excellent are the desserts, all<br />
strictly homemade such as Tartisù, as well as<br />
cocktails and wines.<br />

In the heart of Nettuno, in a beautiful and<br />
romantic little square, you can eat some<br />
of the most exciting cuisine in all of Lazio.<br />
We are at Taverna di Bacco, the beloved<br />
spot of the Villani family, which opened this<br />
small-scale eatery in 2015. In an elegant<br />
setting amid glass, wood and marble, we eat<br />
refined, contemporary dishes signed by Italian-Brazilian chef Felipe Augusto Dos Santos, who<br />
contaminates local recipes and ingredients with spices and techniques with an international<br />
flair. A few examples? Carpaccio of catch of the day, oyster madness, olives and cherry<br />
tomatoes and Spaghettone butter, anchovies and puntarelle. The wine list is also particularly<br />
extensive and carefully curated.<br />
Viale dei Castani, 17 - Ariccia<br />
06.45557597<br />
Sintesi is the new starred sign of the Lazio<br />
countryside. Since the day they opened, just<br />
before the pandemic broke out Sara Scarsella<br />
and Matteo Compagnucci in the kitchen, along<br />
with Sara’s sister Laura in the dining room,<br />
have breathed new life into Ariccia, redefining<br />
it as a gastronomic destination. The restaurant,<br />
with its minimal design made of wood and greenery, offers young cuisine, the result of its<br />
owners’ experiences around the world from Australia to Denmark. The menu offers the<br />
possibility to range over both the dishes on the list and the 7- or 9-course tasting.<br />
DLR (Dopo Lavoro Ricreativo)<br />
Via Nino Bixio, 1 - Frascati<br />
06.630640<br />
DLR, Dopo Lavoro Ricreativo, is the brainchild<br />
of chef Jacopo Ricci, who leaves the city and<br />
fine dining to return to his home area, the<br />
Castelli. Here, in an atmosphere reminiscent<br />
of the trattorias of the 1970s, simple and<br />
informal, Jacopo revels in cuisine that is only<br />
seemingly simple. Every dish on the menu is<br />
created from raw materials that are in season<br />
and strictly from the territory of Lazio and<br />
in particular the Castelli. To try are the beef<br />
heart with cherries, the pork stuffed dim with<br />
spring onion and lemon balm, and again the<br />
duck with jackdaws and blackberry leaves.<br />
Contatto<br />
Via Gioberti, 11 - Frascati<br />
06.21700957<br />
Frascati recently sees itself enriched by a<br />
sparkling new opening. Its name is Contatto,<br />
a new contemporary-style restaurant by the<br />
couple Luca Lodovici and Lorena Cavana.<br />
Luca, after working several years in important<br />
Italian and foreign kitchens, returns to<br />
Frascati with the project of a restaurant<br />
where he cooks local raw materials with<br />
cutting-edge techniques. Don’t miss the<br />
carboncello di grotta, egg and beer, the<br />
cappellacci with porchetta and brown bottom<br />
of peppers, and again the black pork belly<br />
from the Lepini Mountains with roots and<br />
plum ketchup. It is possible to opt for two<br />
tasting menus of 5 and 7 courses.<br />

In Grottaferrata, from the ashes of Peppa and<br />

Dolceria, for brunch and breakfast, and Nando<br />

of pizzaiolo Mirko Rizzo, beloved in Rome with<br />
L’Elementare in Trastevere and Parco Appio.<br />
Don’t forget to order the fritti and bruschette before devouring the pizzas, from traditional and<br />
non-traditional toppings. In the warmer months we recommend taking a seat in the small<br />
outdoor garden.<br />
Ugo Foscolo Street, 15 - Aprilia<br />
348.6960986<br />
For a cool stop out of town, what’s better<br />

is Tonka’s in Aprilia. Here, Valerio Esposito,<br />
opened his gelateria in 2010 that now boasts<br />
two cones for the Gambero Rosso guide. The<br />
flavors are diverse and constantly changing.<br />
They are also joined by ice cream cakes, monoportions and granitas.<br />
Hosteria Amedeo<br />

06.94341163<br />
In Monte Porzio Catone, from what<br />
used to be a small fraschetta, carefully<br />
tended by grandfather Amedeo, Hosteria<br />
Amedeo restaurant emerges and surprises<br />
with its excellent blend of tradition and<br />
contemporaneity with traditional dishes<br />
revised from a current perspective, lightened<br />
and better presented. Try the house-selected<br />
cured meats and even the fried artichokes<br />
and pork livers. Continue with the homemade<br />
fresh pasta in multiple variations, from porcini<br />
mushrooms to pork chop ragout. The grilled<br />
meats and homemade desserts are excellent<br />
too.<br />
Buccia trattoria<br />
Via Litoranea - Sabaudia<br />
366.4990849<br />
In Sabaudia we eat very good meat and<br />
especially quinto quarto. Who gets the credit<br />
for it all? Buccia Trattoria, owned by Fabrizio<br />
Pagliaroni and Daniele Iodice, who, after<br />
running a kiosk on the beach, decided to<br />
dedicate their place on the shoreline to meat.<br />
Lots of buffalo is cooked here, though the<br />
real must-have is the homemade porchetta.<br />
Bite into their bao stuffed with Buccia Made<br />
porchetta, wild misticanza, sweet and sour<br />
sauce and ginger mayonnaise, follow it up<br />
with noodles whipped in a cream of grilled<br />
onions and buffalo sausage, wash it all down<br />
with a good bottle of wine and you’ll be<br />
happy. In fact, overjoyed.<br />

Picnic Season<br />
in Rome<br />
When in Rome,<br />
picnic as the Romans do!<br />
p<br />
Gabriela R. Proietti<br />
As we head into the month<br />
of <strong>May</strong>, what better way to<br />
enjoy the spring sunshine,<br />
immerse ourselves in<br />
Rome’s abundant greenery<br />
under her blue skies, and<br />
escape the hustle and bustle<br />
of every-day city life than to<br />
have a picnic? Picnic season<br />
in Rome is not to be messed<br />
with, as villas across town<br />
quickly fill-up at the first<br />
sight of a sunny day. Where<br />
to venture to and what to<br />
bring is only a matter of<br />
picking one out of the many<br />
beautiful parks that stretch<br />
across the city, making a<br />
few pit-stops, and grabbing<br />
a group of family or friends<br />
to enjoy it with. .<br />
WHEN IN ROME, PICNIC AS THE ROMANS DO!<br />
Picking the right spot<br />
Unrolling a blanket and finding a spot to claim shouldn’t pose a challenge as Rome<br />
is one of the greenest cities in all of Europe. Although the debate amongst Romans<br />
is strong as to which villa is best, and there is no sign of resolution anytime soon,<br />
you simply cannot go wrong with either. Villa Doria Pamphili, a 17th-century villa<br />
situated just beyond Trastevere, in the Gianicolo Hill in Monteverde, is the largest<br />
landscaped public park in Rome, with over 90 hectares of public space, in addition<br />
to its 17th century architecture, fountains and ponds. On the other hand, Villa<br />
Borghese, Rome’s most famous park, spans from Piazza del Popolo to Via Veneto,<br />
and can be reached at the top of the Spanish Steps. The Gardens of Borghese are<br />
a sanctuary, and even have fun things to do after lunch, like rent row boats, head<br />
to the museum, or explore the Bioparco Zoo.<br />

WHEN IN ROME, PICNIC AS THE ROMANS DO!<br />
Just beyond the Borghese<br />
Gardens is Rome’s<br />
second largest public<br />
park, Villa Ada, situated<br />
in the North-east area of the city. Villa<br />
Ada manages to create a tranquil vibe<br />
with its luscious landscape rich in flora<br />
despite lying in a high-density urban<br />
area. If you’re looking for an adventure<br />
that’s even further from the city center,<br />
Parco degli Acquedotti is undoubtedly<br />
well worth the trip (easily accessible by<br />
Metro A to the Giulio Agricola stop). The<br />
open-air, flat terrain that stretches for<br />
what seems like eternity is lined with<br />
crumbling ancient aqueducts that are<br />
absolutely breathtaking. The park is the<br />
perfect spot to feel as if you have been<br />
transported to the countryside, without<br />
actually leaving the City. A herd of<br />
sheep may even be spotted in passing.<br />
Something new and exciting that<br />
has just launched this past month<br />
is at Orto Botanico di Roma, also<br />
known as the Botanical Garden.<br />
The garden’s latest project, called<br />
YAM, offers the chance to enjoy<br />
on weekends a curated picnic<br />
with seasonal ingredients. Enjoy<br />
the picnic immersed in nature<br />
under the shade surrounded by<br />
the scent of lemon trees to enjoy<br />
a one-of-a-kind experience.<br />
Other spots we love that are<br />
tucked away in the city’s tiny<br />
corners include Villa Sciarra,<br />
Parco del Colle Oppio, and Villa<br />
Torlonia.<br />
What are you waiting for? Grab a friend or two, some<br />
food and drinks, and pick a park to go picnic!<br />

Like every year, on April<br />
21st, on the occasion<br />
of Rome’s birthday, the<br />
stunning Garden of Roses<br />
will reopen. And this year, it’s<br />
not just Rome’s birthday, it’s<br />
also Easter!<br />
Just a short walk from the<br />
Colosseum, you can find an<br />
exquisite rose garden with<br />
over 1,100 different species<br />
of roses, with a spectacular<br />
view overlooking the ruins of<br />
the Palatine Hill and the city<br />
of Rome.<br />
And the garden isn’t just<br />
beautiful, it’s also one of the<br />
most prestigious collections<br />
The Garden of Roses<br />
in the world, which retraces<br />
the history and evolution of<br />
the rose from the ancient<br />
Romans to today. There are<br />
roses from New Zealand,<br />
Europe, the Americas and<br />
South Africa, just to name<br />
a few. Some are 40 million<br />
years old.<br />
The Garden was first set up<br />
in the year 1931 according<br />
to the wish of the nobleman<br />
Francesco Boncompagni<br />
Ludovisi, on top of a former<br />
Jewish cemetery. To<br />
commemorate the former<br />
site the garden still bears<br />
the two tables of the laws<br />
of Moses at its entrance<br />
and was given the shape of<br />
a menorah with its seven<br />
arms.<br />
The garden is split into<br />
three sections, showcasing<br />
ancient, botanical and<br />
modern roses. It is both<br />
centrally located yet also<br />
a tranquil, romantic spot<br />
to escape the chaos of the<br />
city. Definitely worth a visit<br />
for lovers of roses, lovers<br />
of a great panorama or just<br />

Il Marchese unites the best of two worlds: the elegance of<br />
a French bar with salon accents and intricate chandeliers<br />
within the coziness of a Roman trattoria. Dine directly at<br />
the kitchen counter or in one of the wooden tables while<br />
enjoying Chef’s Roman dishes and homemade pasta.<br />
What to order? With Chef Daniele Roppo, you’re sure<br />
to have a fantastic dining experience. Authentic cuisine<br />
that has never heard of a ‘half-portion’, delicious meat<br />
and seafood specialities, and main courses marinated in<br />
distilled and bitter bases is what awaits you.<br />
As a starter we suggest the fried green tomato with<br />
buffalo mozzarella and basil mayonnaise. So yummy!<br />
For mains you can try the Linguine con ricciola, pesto<br />
di rucola e limone candito or always stick with the well<br />
loved classic, the iconic La carbonara del Marchese. The<br />
guanciale is crispy, the pasta is homemade and al dente,<br />
and the sauce perfectly creamy. Then try the galletto alla diavola or the Roman-style veal fillet<br />
topped with prosciutto and sage. If you fancy fish, the Tonno rosso alla cacciatora or the sweet<br />
and sour cod fish served with raspberries and vegetables in season.<br />
Il Marchese is a delightful place that is not only culinary heaven but quenches your thirst. It<br />
doubles as a lovely cocktail bar, and the first Amaro Bar of Europe - its menu has more than<br />
six hundred kinds of bitters. Either post dinner, or as an aperitivo, enjoy one of their signature<br />
drinks, all a blend of carefully selected fine ingredients with various textures and extraordinary<br />
compositions of aromas and tastes - each of them unique, each worth every sip.<br />

Les Etoiles Rooftop Cocktail Bar is the open rooftop terrace<br />
of the Hotel Atlante Star that offers a truly spectacular<br />
panoramic view of Rome encompassing three hundred and<br />
sixty degrees of terracotta rooftops and some of the city’s<br />
most impressive monuments. If you’re looking for a light<br />
lunch or a dinner, an aperitivo or an after dinner cocktail, you<br />
couldn’t find a location more romantic or luxurious.<br />
The view takes in Castel Sant’Angelo, the Vittorio Emanuele<br />
monument, the forested Gianicolo hill, Villa Borghese, the<br />
spidery gazometro, and the best view I’ve ever seen of the<br />
facade and dome of St. Peter’s Basilica.<br />
Relax on couches or under their spacious umbrellas and<br />
enjoy a cocktail alongside an array of delectable finger<br />
foods. Choose from a variety of cooked and raw food,<br />
marinated salmon, yummy club sandwiches, buffalo<br />
mozzarella, hamburgers, rich salads and more, all finished<br />
off with fresh fruit.<br />
The aperitif is served every day between 5pm and 9pm. There is a fixed formula at 45 euros<br />
which includes a drink (cocktail or glass of wine) accompanied by a selection of finger food,<br />
also available for vegans and celiacs.<br />
I suggest going in the evening so you can enjoy the cool breeze above the tumult of the city<br />
below, sip a cocktail and watch the sun’s last rays warm the ancient stones of the eternal city.<br />

Just a few streets away from the Ottaviano metro in<br />
Via Ostia sits Rome’s oldest jazz club, Alexanderplatz,<br />
a down to earth venue which wouldn’t be out of place<br />
in the mecca of Jazz: Greenwich Village, New York.<br />
Alexanderplatz is underground, figuratively as a haven to<br />
an underground musical genre which has thrived here<br />
over the last thirty years, and literally. As you descend<br />
the stairs into the cavernous interior, you’d be forgiven<br />
for forgetting you were near the Vatican in the heart<br />
of Rome. Describing itself as a “cradle of jazz,” the graffitied walls and photos of legendary<br />
performers imbue Alexanderplatz with a feeling of experimentalism which defined jazz in its<br />
heyday.<br />
Many of the most prominent jazz, blues, soul, music artists have performed at the<br />
Alexanderplatz, including Wynton Marsalis, Brad Meldhau, Red Rodney, Freddy Cole, Stefano<br />
Bollani, Fabrizio Bosso, Sarah Jane Morris, Steve Coleman and many more. Founded in 1984<br />
by Giampiero Rubei, Alexanderplatz hosts live concerts from 9.30pm (doors open at 8pm).<br />
This synthesis between the experimental and sophisticated is what makes Alexanderplatz<br />
unique. Where else are you going to sip a cocktail and watch great live jazz in Rome? Entry is<br />
through membership. The program changes regularly, so to keep up to date with upcoming<br />
performances, it’s a good idea to check out their Facebook Page.<br />
Charity Cafe, with its fully<br />
stocked bar specializing<br />
in whiskey, rum and killer<br />
shaken concoctions, is the<br />
jazz and blues aficionado’s<br />
dream. It’s gritty New York<br />
and Roman elegance fused<br />
together with music nights<br />
oozing from Chicago blues to<br />
jazz Harlem standards. 60s<br />
and 70s Classic Rock, Soul<br />
and Folk every Tuesday with<br />
Andy’s Corner; Blues Night<br />
on Wednesday; Jazz Voice<br />
on Thursday; Jazz Night on<br />
Friday, and a groovy Blues<br />
Night on Saturday, all starting<br />
at 10 pm! On Sunday there<br />
is live music with an aperitivo<br />
(6.30pm – 9pm) with snacks,<br />
appetizers and drinks<br />
included in your price.<br />
Vintage finds, bohemian<br />
Roman style décor, a library<br />
of books and pop culture<br />
references will certainly<br />
appeal to your senses. Odes<br />
to Fellini, Bukowski and<br />
even Star Wars, are carefully<br />
placed throughout while<br />
showcasing their grace.<br />
For entrées one might get<br />
prosciutto and hummus, go<br />
for a sandwich, their special<br />
tartares, or an especially<br />
gracious list of salads. The<br />
highlight? Bukowski Bar<br />
offers twelve different kinds<br />
of spritz! And wine lovers,<br />
go for the good stuff with<br />
Bukowski’s wine selection of<br />
Italy’s tastiest.<br />
The Conventicola is a<br />
Burlesque Club, a space<br />
that allows for the strongest<br />
underground artists to take<br />
the stage and perform<br />
their art. Hosting about<br />
a dozen, vastly different<br />
artists each night, along with<br />
the occasional burlesque<br />
performance, this venue is<br />
like nowhere else in Rome.<br />
At Conventicola you’ll get the<br />
change to listen to the best<br />
swing musicians of today’s<br />
scene, admire burlesque<br />
performances from every<br />
corner of the world, and<br />
attend exhibitions of unique<br />
and histrionic personalities.<br />

From <strong>May</strong> 20 to 28, Rome is giving people<br />
the chance to explore the great architecture<br />
and design of contemporary structures,<br />
historic buildings and even private homes<br />
throughout the city. Thanks to Open House<br />
Roma, more than 200 sites will open their<br />
doors to visitors and tourists alike. The novelty<br />
of this 11th edition is the length: nine days<br />
and two weekends of visits, events and tours.<br />
The events are divided into six categories<br />
revolving around: living, everyday architecture,<br />
bed and food, history, creative heritage,<br />
and finally, knowledge. Highlights in the six<br />
proposed areas include: Palazzo Falconieri on<br />
Via Giulia, home to the Hungarian Academy<br />
and one of Borromini’s lesser-known works<br />
of art; a stroll through Villa Certosa, a small<br />
“village” squeezed between the railway and<br />
the rest of the city, with an old-time, almost<br />
surreal atmosphere; a futuristic visit to the<br />
Italian space agency; and much much more.<br />

the first international exhibitions to raise questions about the technological/existential concept<br />
of the Metaverse – said Gabriele Simongini and Serena Tabacchi. Palazzo Cipolla, previously<br />
hosting the colourful collection of the French painter Dufy, becomes a set, a sort of creative<br />
playground where the concept of digital imagination becomes the true protagonist.<br />
The exhibition brings together works by leading historical artists such as Umberto Boccioni,<br />
“<br />
The Metaverse is a place where you can do anything,<br />
be anyone without going anywhere at all. A place<br />
where the limits of reality are your imagination.<br />
Steven Spielberg, Ready Player One, 2018<br />

IPOTESI METAVERSO EXPERIENTIAL EXHIBITION<br />
AT PALAZZO CIPOLLA<br />
The exhibition recently<br />
launched at Palazzo Cipolla<br />
is one of a kind, especially<br />
in Rome. Whoever wanders<br />
around the city can easily get<br />
used to stunning churches,<br />
ancient ruins and imposing<br />
palaces. But, less frequently,<br />
visitors get to experience the<br />
metaverse right at the center<br />

HOW TO SEE FLORENCE IN A DAY<br />
FLORENCE<br />
8.30 am<br />
Breakfast<br />
You can’t start any day without a warm cup of coffee and luckily<br />
there are coffee shops on almost every other corner in Florence.<br />
A cup of joe and a cornetto (croissant) is all you’ll need to fuel<br />
your body to embark on a day full of adventures. Ditta Artigianale<br />
and Caffé Gilli are two great options. Ditta Artigianale is one of<br />
our favorites with a variety of savory breakfast options, but if you<br />
prefer a warm sweet pastry head to Caffé Gilli, you will not be<br />
disappointed.<br />
How To See Florence In A Day<br />
The perfect itinerary to maximize 24 hours in Florence<br />
Florence is the birthplace of Renaissance art, but more<br />
importantly this cozy, walkable city with rich history offers<br />
a cultural experience unlike no other. The city’s vibrant and<br />
joyful ambiance, and the Florentine cuisine and wine will<br />
have you coming back for more. Florence deserves much<br />
more than 24 hours, but if you find yourself with only one<br />
day to indulge, we’ve got you covered.<br />
9.15 am<br />
Piazza Duomo<br />
After breakfast head over to The Cathedral<br />
of Santa Maria del Fiore in Piazza Duomo.<br />
The Dome is the largest masonry vault in<br />
the world and dates back to 1436, built by<br />
Filippo Brunelleschi. It’s one of Florence’s<br />
most spectacular sights and the coolest part<br />
is you can climb all the way to the top of the<br />
dome and look out onto all of Florence. We<br />
recommend purchasing tickets in advance.<br />
11 am<br />
Mercato Centrale<br />
After 463 steps, your stomach may be<br />
rumbling. Head over to the Mercato Centrale,<br />
also known as the Central Market, for a<br />
marketplace full of taste for anything your<br />
heart desires. The ground floor is a traditional<br />
food market with fresh meats, cheese, and<br />
vegetables. The upstairs resembles a food<br />
court, with various cuisines, pastries, beer,<br />
and cocktails cultivated by artisans.<br />

12 pm<br />
Leather Market<br />
Steps outside of the Mercato Centrale, you’ll notice the sweet scent of real leather leading to<br />
the tents with all the best goods. This is the famous Leather Market in San Lorenzo. The leather<br />
market offers endless options from belts to bags and everything in between. If you’re looking for<br />
a gift for a friend or for yourself, this is the place to go.<br />
4 pm<br />
Quick Lunch<br />
HOW TO SEE FLORENCE IN A DAY<br />
After an hour or two of admiring artworks, it’s time to grab a<br />
quick lunch. When in Florence, everyone must try one of the best<br />
sandwich shops, All’Antico Vinaio. The first ever location is only a<br />
few steps away from the Uffizi and now the company has expanded<br />
to multiple parts of Italy and even in the United States. Don’t be<br />
discouraged by the long lines, the taste and variety of options will<br />
definitely be worth the wait!<br />
1 pm<br />
Piazza della Signoria<br />
After some shopping head over to Piazza Della<br />
Signoria. This city square is a huge tourist<br />
attraction and here you’ll find the Palazzo<br />
Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery. As you walk<br />
around you’ll notice the Fountain of Neptune,<br />
a replica of the iconic David, and many more<br />
popular attractions. It’s a great place to sit and<br />
soak in Florence’s beauty.<br />
1.30 pm<br />
Uffizi Gallery<br />
The Uffizi Gallery is a must as it hosts the<br />
largest collection of Renaissance art in the<br />
world. Some timeless paintings preserved here<br />
include pieces such as Botticelli’s The Birth of<br />
Venus (1485), and Michelangelo’s painting of<br />
The Holy Family (1504-06). The Uffizi gallery is<br />
packed with history and incredible art, but to<br />
maximize the quality of your visit book a tour.<br />

Ponte Vecchio<br />
Unfortunately, All’Antico Vinaio doesn’t have<br />
seating, but what a great opportunity to grab<br />
your sandwich and hangout at the oldest<br />
bridge in Florence: The Ponte Vecchio. The<br />
Ponte Vecchio overlooks the Arno River and<br />
in the center of the bridge sits a statue of the<br />
bust of the most famous Florentine goldsmith,<br />
Benvenuto Cellini. The Ponte Vecchio also has<br />
a variety of jewelry and souvenir shops, as<br />
well as some good gelaterias, for a refreshing<br />
dessert.<br />
sunset<br />
Piazzale Michelangelo<br />
Piazzale Michelangelo at sunset is an<br />
absolute must when visiting Florence because<br />
it offers an incredible view of the entire city.<br />
Depending on what season you choose to<br />
visit will vary with the hours of sunset, but<br />
regardless grab a few snacks, maybe a bottle<br />
of wine and watch the sun go down in one of<br />
the most beautiful cities.<br />
