Such a good read! And I particularly loved this anecdote: "Italians are convinced AC is a public health emergency. They blame it for stomach cramps, neck problems, colds, coughs, vomiting — everything. So, there’s almost no air conditioning." Haha! So true!
Brava OTH and Elettra…I love this idea that Romans have built one city for them and one for tourists….a good thing to keep in mind when I travel abroad next♥️
Former New Yorker, frequent visitor to Rome here - the heat being somatically different is just. so. spot. on.
Loved this read - thank you!
This made me want to return ASAP!
SO much good advice here 💗

And remember never to lose your cool 😅😘
Never lose your shit!
Love this! Great piece. I grew up partly in Rome and go back often. Do you live there?
We lived there for a year and just moved back to the States. I also have a Roman mother and spent lots of time there in my childhood.
