This city, my city, is not just a vacation destination but a way of life: beauty reigns, and flavors sit by its side. Rome deserves more than organized info, a map, and a “must-see” places list.

Open it and let it inundate your eyes, conquer your spirit, and make you believe in things you never thought possible. Put on your apron and be ready to cook Ancient Roman food, old Roman recipes, and a few modern – kind of – recipes.
