Our report
I’ll never forget the hasty sketches of Panamarenko over the Palatine.Made by hundreds of sparrows, flying in tremendous formations.
Surrealism over an ancient city.It is divine to overlook the landmarks from the roof of Ferragamo’s house ( Portrait Suits Hotel ).
This very special hotel welcomes you as a friend.
The huge hall is decorated with original sketches of his iconic shoe designs.
"Marmoream relinquo,quam latericiam accepi"-"I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble." Augustus
The concierge will make sure that you won’t feel hungry in this city and he knows the best trattoria or osteria.
There must be other guests in this hotel but we seldom see them.
Contemporary fashion and old monuments go hand in hand in this city and history comes alive !
Wonderful feeling to wander over the Via Appia, after all those hours of Latin and history classes.
Some people even book a gladiator course.But we find this just one bridge too far.
Just like a theme park, one needs fast-lane tickets, especially to visit the Vatican.You don’t want to cue for hours among sweaty tourists in the burning sun.Although the beauty of the Sistine Chapel compensates the burden of long waiting lines.
We tossed a coin in the Trevi fountains, to make sure we’ ll come back one day. There aren’t enough days in a week to try all those wonderful adresses. An absolute must though, is diner at Aroma, a rooftop restaurant in Palazzo Manfredi with a splendid view of the Colosseum.
And don’t dare to leave this city without having enjoyed the tonarelli or spaghetti carbonara at La Antica Pesa.
Ciao!
