Curator’s statement
I don't have to convince you that Rome is an incredible city with lovely locals, rich culture and more history than you'll ever be able to cover in one trip. My secret for getting to know locals, culture and history is through food. And boy, are Romans passionate about their food! All will tell you that they are Roman first, Italian second. I love that fierce community feel! Whether you're in Termini or Trastevere, near the Colosseum or in the heart of the Historic Centre neighborhood (vicinato in Italian), delicious eats are around every corner!
