“Came hungry, left family”
Every stop felt like being welcomed into someone’s home. The pasta course alone justified the flight to Rome.

Second time in Rome but first time actually understanding what I was looking at. The Forum section was fantastic.

Colosseum is the ancient Roman amphitheatre in central Rome, built under the Flavian emperors and inaugurated around AD 80.
Palatine Hill is one of the oldest and most historically significant places in Rome, rising above the Roman Forum as the legendary birthplace of the city. Revered in both Roman mythology and archaeology, it became the preferred residence of emperors and today forms a major part of the city's archaeological park and UNESCO-listed historic center.
The Circus Maximus was the largest chariot-racing stadium in ancient Rome, located in a valley between the Palatine and Aventine hills. For centuries it served as one of the city's principal venues for public entertainment, political spectacle, and religious celebrations. Today it is a major archaeological and historical landmark in Rome, offering a tangible connection to the scale and culture of the Roman world.
Giardino degli Aranci — officially Parco Savello — is a beautiful small garden on Aventine Hill in Rome. Its main attraction is the panoramic terrace overlooking the Tiber, historic Rome, and St. Peter’s Basilica.
The Roseto Comunale (Municipal Rose Garden) is a public botanical garden in Rome dedicated to cultivating and displaying roses from around the world. Set on the slopes of the Aventine Hill, it is especially known for its extensive collection, scenic views over the city, and seasonal spring bloom.
Trastevere is a historic neighborhood on the west bank of the Tiber River in Rome. Known for its narrow cobblestone streets, medieval character, and lively restaurant and nightlife scene, it is often regarded as one of the city's most atmospheric districts. Its mix of local life, historic churches, and cultural landmarks makes it a distinctive part of Rome.
The Fontana dell'Acqua Paola is a monumental Baroque fountain on Rome's Janiculum Hill that marks the endpoint of the restored Acqua Paola aqueduct. Often nicknamed Il Fontanone ("the Big Fountain"), it is celebrated for its grand architecture, abundant flowing water, and one of the city's finest panoramic viewpoints.
The Janiculum (Italian: Gianicolo) is a hill and scenic overlook on the west bank of the Tiber in Rome. Although it is not one of Rome's traditional Seven Hills, it is among the city's most celebrated viewpoints, combining sweeping panoramas with layers of ancient, Renaissance, and modern Italian history.
