RENTAL IN ROME MARGUTTA APARTMENT-4
YOUR HOME IN ROME: RENTAL IN ROME

I love everything of Rome. The Spanish steps, the rose petals on the marble, the sanpietrini streets that glitters at sunset and the ivy that frames the old buildings. Last time I was in Rome was just a few weeks ago, for the TTG organized event TBDI…

THE LAMPEDUSA DIARIES

7.30 am. I wake up on an airplane seat at the voice of the hostess. “In 20 minutes we are going to start landing, we kindly ask you to return to your seats and fasten your seat belts”. I open my eyes. Only blue as far as they can see. Suddenly,…

Today I’m traveling. I’m on a train that is bringing me to Rimini, in the stunning “riviera romagnola” italian area. I’m usually thrilled to leave my town, Trieste, but not in these days. It’s that time of the year, the “Barcolana” time, my favorite in the whole year. The…

PALERMO: WHERE TO STAY

Palermo is a all-year-around destination, even though probably the best time to visit would be early and late summer (avoid July and August, as it’s too hot to sight-see and the beaches will be like hell on Earth). It’s a city blessed by the climate and…

PALERMO: WHAT TO DO AND SEE IN TWO DAYS

I was told to leave my camera at home while visiting Palermo and to be really careful. Even if there were moments when I felt uncomfortable, I don’t think any tourist should worry so much. Palermo can be dodgy, but if you visit it responsibly, as you would do…
