As we begin traveling home, we wanted to share some travel tips from our experience in Rome to you!

Day 7: Early morning at the Vatican Basilica - definitely worth it!

Later stopped by Piazza Novana, then dinner at Giordi and gelato at Mamma Mia Gelaterie.

Day 6: Today we saw the Forum and the @ParcoColosseo. For a 90°F + day, Alessandra from Rutas Romanas kept us all moving, entertained, and informed for 3 HOURS - definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

Breakfast and dinner at Taba in Campo de Fiori!

En route to gelato, we came upon LION, which was abuzz for karaoke night! My new friends from Australia pulled us up to sing some ABBA, of course!

Day 4: One of the most fascinating things is how these monuments are just built into the city. We were actually able to meet our friends who were on their own trip! We had our Lizzie McGuire moment then shared lunch.

Once we split ways, we got in line for the Pantheon, formerly a Greek temple and now a Christian chapel and tomb for Vittorio Emanuele II and Umberto I. We walked in right at the right time and we actually able to stay for a quadrilingual mass!

Day 5: We then headed toward the Museo Da Vinci, then taxied to @EnotecaT, actually recommended to me by an italyMONDO client!

After a rest we headed to Elle Effe for some Sicilian food - pasta alla norma and cannoli. We enjoyed a beautiful night people watching.

Day 3: We wandered around St. Peter’s Square and soaked in the size and detail. Benjamin, our tour guide from Vivico, provided so much history on the miles worth of art throughout the Vatican Museum complex & the Sistine Chapel (no pictures!!), then a late pizza.

[italyMONDO! @italymondo]

Let’s talk Campo de Fiori food: a late breakfast entailed Irish coffee and a ricotta & spinach omelette. We got suppli, zucchini flowers, and aperol spritzes. After walking that off, I finally got cacio de pepe of my own. These were some Roman standards I had to try.

Day 2: Today we trekked to the Jewish Ghetto to see the ruins and try a Jewish pizza. We then wandered to the @IstitutoViVe. This now houses a museum, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and a pretty phenomenal view of Rome. The amount of marble and stone is breathtaking!

After Pompeii, Luigi drove us to the Amalfi Coast. Charlotte took us to her favorite restaurant, and then we tasted limoncello & picked up a little candy for my coworkers 🤫

We had the best day with Charlotte and Luigi from @Welcomeitaly19 - we’d highly recommend a day tour!

[italyMONDO! @italymondo]

Our first full day was just that - full! We booked a trip with @WelcomeItaly to Pompeii & the Amalfi Coast. Charlotte & Luigi and our new friends from Scotland drove to Pompeii. Salvatore, our @pompeii_sites guide, was a wealth of knowledge. Such an interesting piece of history!

[italyMONDO! @italymondo]

Our adventure began with travel. We drove to BOS, then flew overnight to land in FCO bright and early CET. We relaxed and got dinner nearby at nearby Baccanale, with a view of Campo de Fiori. After 24+ hours of travel, we had to end the day with gelato. More adventures to come!

Back in 2010, my family took a Heritage Tour with italyMONDO ourselves to Graniti (ME). We had a fantastic trip, and 11 years later I got hired to help clients get in touch with their own Italian roots. Now we’re back to see what the capital has to offer! 🇮🇹

[italyMONDO! @italymondo]

Ciao! My name is Mia, and I’m a Case Manager/Delivery Specialist in the italyMONDO! US office. However, for the next week or so, my family and I will be in Rome, and I’m going to share our journey with you! We’re excited to see the sights and eat all the delicious food. Andiamo!

(And for anyone who has dealt with Italians or Italian bureaucracy, you know that you sometimes need a good laugh to make sense of it all!) 😅

We are excited to announce that italyMONDO!’s founder, @PeterFarinaIM, is the Executive Producer of the upcoming short film, Make Me Italian! 🇮🇹 🇺🇸

[italyMONDO! @italymondo]

Years ago, we “made” the film’s creator Bryan Mazzarello Italian (at least we made his Italian-ness official with an Italian Passport) – and we are now proud to support his new short film about one man’s hilarious quest for Dual Italian Citizenship. 🤌🤌🤌
