Things to do in Rome<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Food and Wine<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Learn to Cook a Roman Meal<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When in Rome….cook as the Romans do! The Eternal City is famous for a variety of things — the Colosseum, the Pope, its ancient ruins — but one thing that many tourists tend to overlook is its centuries-old culinary tradition. What would Italian cuisine be without tasty Roman specialties like saltimbocca alla romana, spaghetti alla carbonara or Jewish style artichokes?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Winery Visit, Tasting, and Lunch at Falesco<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When Italy’s leading enologist and wine consultant, Riccardo Cotarella, founded the Falesco Winery with his brother Renzo in 1979, it was with the vision of making a dynamic winery, committed to an innovative approach to the traditional winemaking techniques of the area. Today, Falesco is one of the most well-known and respected wineries in Umbria and Lazio and continues to offer the best of their area in hospitality and wine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Pasta Romana – A Private Cooking Class<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pasta was most probably introduced to Italy during the Arab conquest of Sicily during the Middle Ages, but it was the Italians themselves who added the sauce. Today there are hundreds of shapes to choose from, each with its own special name, texture and mouth feel: straight or curvy, hollow or solid, the decision of which pasta shape to use depends on the kind of sauce that will be served with it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Pizza Romana<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Italy’s most widely known dish is none other than pizza. Why, you ask? Because it’s fast, it’s flavorful, it’s fresh, it’s fragrant and it’s fantastic! Pizza may be common in the US, but it’s nothing like what you’ll find in Rome!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. A Market Walk and Private Cooking Class<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the most accurate stereotypes about Italy is that the “Italians don’t eat to live, they live to eat!” And Romans eat (and cook) with a special brio that is also expressed in the city’s vibrant and colorful markets. This half-day lesson combines a market visit with the hands-on preparation of an authentic, multi-course Roman meal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. De-Wine: Wines of the Castelli Romani, summer residence of the Popes<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Small Group Food Tour of the Testaccio District<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This 4-hour small-group food tour offers excellent insight into the ancient neighbourhood of Testaccio, located south of the Aventine Hill, right along the Tiber River. Testaccio is not well known among tourists but has an intriguing history that dates back to when grain, olive oil, and other foods were brought to Rome in amphorae. This neighbourhood also features a wonderful market and, most importantly, an amazing food scene.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Learn the Basics of Italian Cuisine in a Small Group Cooking Class<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you may know, each region or town in Italy boasts its own unique culinary traditions and culture. So, when in Rome, why not explore the capital city’s authentic Italian cuisine by preparing a three-course meal? You’ll meet an English-speaking assistant who will escort you from a central location in Rome to the class venue. Depending on the number of participants on the day (up to 9 people), the class will be held either at a cooking school or in a professionally equipped home kitchen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

11. Small Group Food and Wine Pairing Class in Rome<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tasting is believing: the right wine can elevate a dish, while even an excellent wine can clash if paired poorly! During this convivial evening at a Roman trattoria, an expert sommelier will guide you through pairing six Italian wines with six dishes, helping you discover the best combinations. From oaky Tuscan reds with meats to crisp whites with Roman pastas, each pairing will reveal something new and exciting about both the wine and the cuisine.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Hardly anyone has left a stronger imprint on a city than Gianlorenzo Bernini has on Rome; his universal genius permeates the Roman landscape.

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Eternal Waters: The Fountains of Rome<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Today, the first few miles are part of a fascinating archaeological park that maintains the romantic atmosphere of its past.<\/p>\n

It was founded, probably in the 4th century BC, as a military colony to guard the river mouth against seaborne invasions. By the 2nd century AD, it had become a flourishing commercial center inhabited by upwards of 100,000 people, whose apartment buildings, taverns, and grocery shops were still intact.<\/p>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

            In the first century AD the Roman Empire had many cities, but none located in a more beautiful setting than those lining the Bay of Naples in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. On August 23rd, 79 AD, Pompeii looked like any other bustling, prosperous, ancient city but just three days later, on August 26th, the city fell silent and the place itself had literally vanished from the face of the earth.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            1. Full Day Excursion to Viterbo and Villa Lante from Rome<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n

              Viterbo, a charming and tranquil town about an hour north of Rome, has one of the best-preserved medieval historic centers in central Italy. Its focus is the impressive, crenelated Papal Palace dating from the mid-13th century when the Papal Curia was removed to Viterbo due to constant urban violence in Rome.<\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

                \"\"<\/p>\n

                Did you know that the Etruscans were the first important civilization to populate the Italian peninsula? And that most of what we know about their way of life comes from the exceptional murals and ancient artifacts found in their burial grounds, the necropolis?
