Il mio fidanzato. He has never been to Rome and I am sure he would love it. This summer we took a marvelous little trip around Italy (Venice, Florence and the Cinque Terre), but Rome just wasn't in the cards. I think my next trip will be to Rome and then down the Amalfi Coast... another must-see!

The beautiful people going about their glamourous business. Chic women in pencil skirts and stilettos driving Vespas and businessmen passionately discussing important matters over espresso.
