- Book 2 of 4: Glam Italia! How To Travel Italy
Rome has been seducing travelers for two thousand years. These days, most of them spend the whole trip queued up outside the same five attractions.
Imagine having a brilliant friend who has spent decades wandering Rome's streets, who knows it like a local, and knows exactly which doors to push open.
Glam Italia! 101 Fabulous Things To Do In Rome doesn't take you to the Colosseum, the Vatican, or the Trevi Fountain. It takes you somewhere better to the extraordinary, crowd-free Rome hiding in plain sight just down the street from all of that, waiting for the travelers who know to look.
Discover the Rome Most Visitors Never Find
- Magnificent palaces, ancient ruins, and breathtaking churches just steps from the tourist crowds virtually empty, hauntingly beautiful, and yours alone to explore
- The hidden piazzas, secret gardens, and tucked-away corners that make you feel like you've discovered a city nobody else knows about
- Two thousand years of scandal, ambition, and genius: the captivating stories behind places that will become your Rome - not everyone else's
- The city beneath the city: Rome's extraordinary underground world of ancient streets, catacombs, and buried basilicas hiding in plain sight
- Every Caravaggio in Rome, where to find them, how to read them, and why they will stop you in your tracks
- The hilarious, dark, and utterly fascinating stories that make two thousand years of history feel vivid and alive
- Where Romans actually eat, from neighbourhood trattorias and aperitivo bars to the perfect suppli and the gelato worth crossing the city for
- Which foods and wines are specific to Rome and not to be missed
- The best markets for food, fashion, art, and souvenirs that make Rome a dream for curious travelers
- A "What's Nearby?" section for every single site, so you can cluster your day intelligently and move through the city like someone who belongs there
- Practical, honest guidance whether you have two days or two weeks, and exactly how to use your time
- Everything within walking distance of the historic center, because Rome rewards those who slow down and wander
This isn't a maps-and-monuments guide. It's a deep, passionate, story-rich companion written by someone who has spent decades learning Rome the way locals experience it.
Readers say that when they arrived in the city, it felt like visiting an old friend that they discovered extraordinary places they never would have found, understood the layers of history all around them, and left completely in love with Rome, already planning their return.
"She doesn't just list places she shares them through her personal lens, like a friend who knows the city inside and out and wants you to love it as much as she does."
If you love genuine history, extraordinary hidden gems, and travel writing that actually makes you feel something this book was written for you.
