Glocalize Yourself Rome Italy.
Experiencing Rome in the footsteps of Caravaggio.
“In our walk through the vibrant streets of Campo Marzio we immersed ourselves in the atmosphere of the times in which the genius Caravaggio lived and created his masterpieces. We discovered some secrets behind some of his iconic works and reviewed some captivating stories of his adventurous life.”

Glocalize Yourself Porto Ercole Italy.
A walk through Porto Ercole, a village on the Monte Argentario promontory, in Tuscany.
“With the students in just about two hours, we let ourselves be enveloped by the fantastic atmosphere of Porto Ercole, one of the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy. We crossed the narrow streets of the old town, which reminded us of the pirate invasions; we followed the walls until we arrived in front of the entrance of the fortress La Rocca; we identified all the Spanish guardian castles that surround and protected the town; we walked along the peaceful port; we admired the breathtaking views of the blue sea and the islands of the Tuscan archipelago; we breathed in the scents of the Mediterranean flora; we stopped in front of the Governors Palace and much more…”

A wonderful evening for our Pasta Tasting dinner.
“In this Roman Ottobrata, our tasting dinner featured the following menu: Panzanella, Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe, Spaghetti alla Gricia, Rigatoni with Coda alla Vaccinara sauce and, as dessert, Torta Ricotta e Visciole. The latter has been a great success. Ricotta and visciole (sour cherry) cake is one of the most successful examples of Roman pastry making, which owes a lot to the Jewish one. A shortcrust pastry base with a shortcrust covering with a filling of ricotta and jam of sour cherries.”

The dome of San Pietro from another point of view: the Passeggiata del Gelsomino.
“The Vatican Railway line is the shortest international railway in the world. When it was built, following the Lateran Pacts, the line was double track, but on the occasion of the Jubilee of 2000 one of the two tracks was removed and the “Jasmine Walk” was created. The Passeggiata del Gelsomino, so called because it passes over the old Valle del Gelsomino, is a pedestrian path from which it is possible to admire the dome of St. Peter’s from a different observation point.”

Glocalize Yourself Civita di Bagnoregio Italy.
Visiting one of the most beautiful villages of Italy: Civita di Bagnoregio.
“Founded by the Etruscans 2500 years ago, it went through various dominations and in the Middle Ages acquired much of its extraordinary shape.
Bagnoregio is often referred to as the "dying town" or "the town that is dying" because it faces the constant threat of erosion and collapse due to the gradual erosion of the tuff rock on which it was built. This nickname underscores the town's precarious existence. Perhaps not everyone knows that Civita was the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki for the creation of the famous animation movie Laputa, castle in the sky.”

Glocalize Yourself Caprarola Italy.
Other memories from our visit to Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola.
“We finished our visit to the interior of the palace by experiencing the incredible acoustics of the Room of Angels; then we visited the gardens of the palace until we reached the Casina del Piacere, passing through chestnut woods, fountains and hedge mazes. After the visit we enjoyed a lunch based on typical local products of the highest quality, among which the “Griciarola” stood out. Water and flour Pici with homemade guanciale, grotto aged pecorino cheese, truffle and chopped hazelnuts.”

Glocalize Yourself Rome Italy.
One August day, in a crypt…
“Rome always knows how to give you something surprising: in a crypt from the last century, under a church more than a thousand years old, in front of the sarcophagi containing the remains of various ancient saints, you find yourself in the company of a group of very young nuns who pray and sing. It’s been said that time in Rome is elastic, in fact new discoveries live among ancient things.”

Exploring the Vittoriano!
“The construction of the equestrian statue of Victor Emmanuel II was entrusted to Enrico Chiaradia in April 1889. The statue, which would later be completed by Emilio Gallori, since Chiaradia died in 1901, was cast with bronze from some cannons of the Royal Army and then mounted on the marble base on which the allegories of the 14 “noble” cities of Italy were sculpted, between 1907 and 1910. The cities represented are the capitals of the pre-unification states, for this reason they were reputed to be the “noble mothers” of Italy during the Risorgimento.
On the occasion of the visit of King Victor Emmanuel III of Savoy, the authorities decided to offer a banquet to a small group of guests among those who had participated in the project. The event was staged inside the belly of the bronze horse, which was able to accommodate more than twenty people.”

In Piazza della Rotonda.
“The name of Piazza della Rotonda derives from the famous circular monument that characterizes it, the Pantheon. In the center of the square is a Renaissance fountain designed around 1575 by Giacomo Della Porta. In the 18th century the fountain was modified by Filippo Barigioni and surmounted by the so-called “obelisk macuteo”, a small authentic ancient Egyptian obelisk from the time of Ramses II discovered in the 14th century in Piazza San Macuto.”
