Designing a private event in Rome and gathering and coordinating the best excellences requires a profound knowledge of the city, a tailored service, passion, creativity, and broad local networking. I have a bit of each.

2. Venue selection in Rome and its surroundings: finding the perfect spot for your event means listening to your needs and matching them with the best location Rome can offer: historic palaces, luxury venues, secret gardens, terraces, and unusual, creative spots.
3. Rome catering services: I love food and pretend to work with quality catering companies. I prefer to say no to a request than offend your palate.

An example of My work: A Private Symposium in Villa Borghese

…The palazzo inside Villa Borghese will host us for a early-Fall private dining experience.
We will be the pioneering group having a private event there for the first time!
The villa is a late Renaissance/early baroque building commissioned by Cardinal Scipione Borghese.

Inside this frescoed chamber:

with this view over Piazza di Siena:

we will have a modern Symposium. Recreating the original purpose of Villa Borghese: a suburban destination (yes, not too many years ago, this area was outside the city, now just a few steps from Via Veneto!) where to hunt, grow vines, celebrate, enjoy art, and explore life pleasures. We will gather as the noblemen, and a few lucky ones, did. We will stroll and breathe beauty and art; we will converse; we will eat and drink.

Francesca, our guide, and her assistant will lead us through the history, anecdotes, and art of the building, of Villa Borghese, and of the Borghese family. We will time travel from Renaissance to Baroque, to Neoclassicism, and to the present day.

Lorenzo, from the S. Cecilia Conservatory in Rome, will join us and play his lute and baroque guitar, introducing us to the instruments and the uniqueness of his repertoire.

No, this is not Lorenzo. We don’t do child labor. He is young, but not that young!

Then Simona and Federica, private chefs, will offer us an authentic Roman feast: we will not only taste (devour!) dishes with ancient roots but also get to know their history and how they’ve evolved until modern times.

Tiny surprises here and there will make this soirè memorable!

But please, remember this is a Symposium, so be ready to be part of the night. You might be asked to share your thoughts, read a poem, or tell a story. For sure, you will be asked to follow a dress code:

Total black + a fancy, showy, glowy accessory, anything “baroque” in your wardrobe waiting for a good excuse to be shamelessly flaunted.

Like this, but severed heads are not allowed.

Yes, better.
