About this deal

Pompeii’s fascinating history will certainly captivate the whole family. Make sure to do this visit on your 5th day in Rome. Circus Maximus: Begin your itinerary at Circus Maximus (metro stop Circo Massimo), which used to be the largest stadium in ancient Rome, with a capacity of 250,000 – 300,000 people. And nobody in 2000 years has ever beaten Circo Massimo’s capacity. It would still be today, the biggest stadium in the world. Circo Massimo was known for its sports and athletics competitions, but it was most famous for its chariot races, that would last from sunrise to dawn. Explore the Borghese Gallery, the Coppedè neighbourhood and the Parioli neighbourhood. What to see in Rome: When you make your grand entrance into the Vatican Museums, prepare to be swept away by the four Raphael Rooms, which make up the public area of the papal apartments. Not only being inside the Pope’s apartments will give a chill down your spine, but the jaw-dropping frescoes by Raphael and Michelangelo will without a doubt contribute. For each day, I will give you all the details you need to plan your visits + a map that will allow you to visualize the itinerary a bit better.

In this decadent, deeply evocative novel, a young artist travels to Rome to heal a broken heart, where she confronts loneliness and intimacy, rage and “Sensorial as hell . . . A stunningly cool and stylish debut" (Paul Beatty, Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sellout ). The Pantheon: This ancient temple, now a church, boasts the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome. I became Emilia, I was in her head, her heart and her body and I was with her every minute during her stay in one of the most famous cities in the world. The author’s personifications and use of all figurative language together with the intense observations of people, places, sights and sounds made this story so much more and if descriptive literary women’s fiction is your interest, you’ll sure to enjoy reading “Six Days in Rome”.

Piazza Farnese:named after the opulent Palazzo Farnese, which is one of the highest Renaissance palazzos in Rome and the seat of the French Embassy. There are also two beautiful fountains in the square, created from granite bathtubs taken from the ancient Baths of Caracalla. While exploring the castle, you’ll witness the splendor of the former papal apartments, discover ancient tombs, and admire antique weaponry once used to defend this historic fortification.

For your 6-day trip in Rome, the best option to consider is the “Rome Tourist Card” often referred to as the “Rome City Pass”. The myth is simple. After Achilles died in the Trojan War, Odysseus and Ajax fought to see who would win Achilles’ armor. Odysseus comes out the victor. Ajax, consumed by sorrow, goes mad for a period of time and totally embarrasses himself. Upon coming to, he feels so ashamed that he tragically falls on his own sword. This magnificent torso is the moments leading up to this hero’s end.Santa Maria in Cosmedin Church: Walk down to Circus Maximus again, but toward the Mouth of Truth, just 170 meters from Circo Massimo. But you don’t really need to get in line to view the Mouth of Truth (unless you really want a picture with your hand inside it). Instead the Santa Maria in Cosmedin Church deserves a visit, it has a wonderful Romanesque bell tower. Lunch: After visiting the Santa Maria in Cosmedin Church, go ahead and cross the Palatino bridge, and you’ll arrive to the lively Trastevere neighbourhood, where you will be having lunch! Either go to Da Teo, Ai Bozzi da Giovanni, Da Enzo or Osteria Le Mani in Pasta, and don’t forget a reservation!

situationship, а Майкъл не само е посветил новата си книга на жена си, ами и смята да се върне при нея. Piazza Navona:just a short walk away, you’ll find one of the most beautiful piazzas in the world. Admire the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi in the middle of the piazza, the church of Sant’Agnese in Agone, the Fontana del Moro and the Fontana del Nettuno. If you’d like to visit a beautiful museum head to Palazzo Altemps. Lunch:Zia Rosetta for a fast lunch with yummy salads, sandwiches and juices. If you want to have a longer break, go to Broccoletti or Fafiuchè for delicious Italian cuisine. Rome, how to describe it? I think it’s the most beautiful city on Earth (but maybe I’m biased). I have a gigantic crush on this city. Just walking on the centuries-old bridges, glancing at the Tiber river and walking through the tree-lined lungotevere fills me with happiness. Not to mention the sound of motorinos speeding by, the Roman gestures, the sound of coffee cups being placed on the bar counter, the smell of roasted chestnuts in the winter. I could go on forever. As the central hub of the city center, Piazza Venezia is easy to identify, thanks in large part to the imposing Victor Emmanuel II Monument that dominates one side of the square.Remember to wear comfortable shoes for exploring this charming village and the surrounding nature. Castel Gandolfo Option 3: Discover the Amalfi Coast As Emilia travels around the ancient and new of this Italian city, she makes observations through a stream of consciousness describing the path and sights ahead of her. She criss-crosses the Tiber, making forays into the bohemian neighbourhood of Trastevere and wandering the streets near the Piazza Navona sipping espressos at the counter and drinking Italian specialties while watching the world go by. On her excursions she bumps into John, a fellow American who has made a new life for himself here in Rome. They have an instantaneous connection, one that neither was expecting. John sees life through a very different lens giving Emilia an alternative look as to how she has lived her life to date and the ofttimes fraught relationship she has with her family. Emilia grew up in a household where her father travelled a lot as a successful musician, leaving her mother in charge. Over the years Emilia has tried to forge her own unique path away from the constant shadow of her father but it has challenged her and has impacted her approach to living her life. With these six days in Rome she considers her life through someone else’s eyes, starting her on an unexpected journey of self-discovery. Terrazza del Gianicolo: If you’re into views, keep going up the Gianicolo until you arrive to Piazza Garibaldi. Here, you’ll find the splendid terrace of the Gianicolo, where you’ll get another fabulous view of Rome. Alice Vatican House: Located 450 meters from St. Peter’s Square. Contemporary room with neat decoration from 95 € per night, breakfast included. Strong points: ideal location, terrace overlooking the Vatican, warm welcome. This is the best choice for your stay in Rome under 120 euros!

Just about 10 metres from the beginning of the street, on the right, is Rome’s oldest coffee shop and Bar: the Antico Caffè Greco. It was opened in 1760. Many a celebrity has been a customer at the Cafe. Keats and Shelley had coffee there as well when they lived in Rome. The list of celebrity customers is almost endless: Goethe, Byron, Liszt, Wagner, and even Casanova, had coffee at the Greco. It is rumoured to be one of Sophia Loren’s favourite cafes in the City. San Luigi dei Francesi Church: Up next, explore the world-famous San Luigi de’ Francesi church, just a few steps away, known for its artistic treasures. Here, you’ll find three of Caravaggio’s masterpieces: The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew, The Inspiration of Saint Matthew and The Calling of St Matthew. Via del Babuino:After visiting the churches, walk up Via del Babuino, part of the Tridente, the street all the way to the left. It’s one of the most luxurious streets of Rome, filled with haute couture boutiques. After Emilia’s relationship suddenly ends, she decides to take the vacation to Rome that she’d planned with her ex as a solo traveler instead. Emilia acts as our deeply observant and self-reflective narrator as we experience the city with her. We weave in and out of her memories, emotions, personal relationships, and experiences of Italy. During her stay, she meets John, an expat she unexpectedly connects with who challenges her to face difficult memories and relationships from her past. Francesca Giacco pumps fresh breath into this ancient city, blending the hills, paths, restaurants, shimmering sun and stone streets of Rome with the personal history of the protagonist, evoking magic and reverence. Emilia’s sorrows are delicately and stunningly rendered, her memories sharp and soft, paced and timed flawlessly. Her desultory moods and thoughts are also seamless images and perspectives.Monument to Victor-Emmanuel II, Piazza Venezia Second day – Visit to the Vatican 6 Days in Rome – Day 2 Francesca’s writing is something quite unique. There is no major plot going on here. Rather, this is a person who takes these six days for ambling introspection - her relationships, her family, her job, her future. This is messy and even in the end, nothing is boxed up neatly and placed away. Rather this is prose exploring art, freedoms, love and loss. I am somewhat torn by this book. On the one hand there is so much to relate to and embrace and yet …. it does jump around and go off on sudden tangents. It may be six days in Rome but there are a lot of days spent elsewhere. Dinner: La Zanzara, Sorpasso, Zia Rilla, Sant’Isidoro Pizza & Bolle or Almatò for a gourmet experience. Some of them are also excellent for happy hour/after-dinner drinks. Make sure to reserve
