Rome is one of the most beautiful cities in the world
and that's why it's filled with tourists..
..a lot of them!
This is our take on a short trip to Rome.
Waking up early you have the entire city for yourself
so you can take it all in
You get to enjoy everything with none of the downside of being a tourist
It's like you're part of a Select Club
where for a couple of hours
you have the entire city of Rome as your personal playground.
By the time your average tourist wakes up
you're already having coffee with a front-row seat
to any of the famous landmarks
Don't worry about paying a premium on whatever you're getting..
enjoying your cappuccino in Piazza Navona is worth every Euro
Once the city gets overtaken by tourists
we choose to escape it.
20 minutes outside of Rome
there's the little town of Frascati
I'm here to drink some wine
eat some food and talk about life
with someone who's passionate about what they do
Meet Alfredo!
a 9th generation winemaker
We try to give an additional, special note, to the tradition
We want people to come here and relax.
It's good for people coming to enjoy the wine and enjoy the traditional tastes of our land
After tour of the winery, we met the chef
after cooking for 10 years in France
most notably for the last two presidents
Chef Luigi decided it was time to get back to his origins
so he came back to his hometown
we're joined by their childhood friend
Eduardo, who just so happens to be a maestro pianist
We drink wine
we talk about the past we talk about the future
and how life has a way of bringing people together
Italy is about its heritage as much as it is about its people
we encourage you to get to know both!
It's time to get back to Rome
the great folks at RomeToursConnections.com
provided us with a brand new 2018 Mercedes S-Class
they have an entire fleet of luxury cars and experiences
lined up for those looking for that extra touch
we also got to know our driver, Marco
who shared stories about racing Ferraris when he was younger
if you have one day in Rome
forget about the emails and just live
Because life happens to you while you're looking down at the screen!
so make the most of it!
Rome's the type of city that is overcrowded with opportunity
it's like a living museum combined with an amusement park for your senses
Yes, go to the main attractions, but don't be scared to go outside your comfort zone
You'll be amazed by the trasures you'll find and the people you'll meet!
by the way, this is the most popular ice-cream joint in Rome
because it's such an international City,
it's roaming with events
I mean.. who wouldn't want to see jay-z and Beyonce perform live
so we did that!
Before we leave we gotta do one last thing:
there's no way I'm living Rome without eating some PIZZA
we're going to my favorite spot in the city: Baffetto's
it's not high-end
it doesn't look fancy
but they make one hell of a roman pizza
Rome is not something you're gonna check off a list
You're not supposed to ''visit'' Rome
You have to experience it!
..to learn its story and make it part of your own!
as an outro, here's a pigeon on a statue!
