La Bocca della Verita (The Mouth of Truth) may not be grandiose like the Colosseum or the Pantheon but don’t be surprised to still see a line here.

November 11, 2011
You would never believe it but I did my first wine tasting in Rome. To be precise, I did my first wine tasting event ever. When I met Hande, owner of Vino Roma, I confessed and told her I don’t drink in general. Wines have never appealed to me and at the many dinners we ... Read More »
