Discover Alternative Rome in San Lorenzo, the student and young artists district
Do you like to experience the real Rome, to see an alternative area very close to the city centre? San Lorenzo is a good option. We would rather go to Pigneto, but having more than one option is always a sound rule. NAME AND ORIGINS Let’s be clear, San Lorenzo has no stunning landmarks, [...]

Reality Check – Eataly Roma on a Sunday Evening: Far From a Dream

This one of the major events of 2012 for Italy’s capital and we are confident it will also change the city’s food culture (read this post). But we don’t write advertorials here, nor we were hired by Mr. Farinetti (founder/owner [...]
How BuzzInRome Fell in Love with Eataly Roma….
Summer 2010, Turin was the first time we came across Eataly. It was EATALY love at first sight! We loved it so much that come summer of 2011, we just had to visit Eataly in New York (conveniently located steps away from the Flat Iron Building). Hence, we were ecstatic to be invited to the [...]

Rome’s Flaminio Borough Turns 100 But Still Hosts Big Events And Is Poised For More!
Is there a better way for the Flaminio borough to celebrate its first 100 years than with a great basketball win versus Italy’s best team, Siena?

2011 Marks the Centennial of Prati, One of the Best Boroughs of Rome: Let’s Discover It!
Prati stands for meadows, fields. For centuries this area of Rome was intentionally kept like this because it made the defence from external attacks of S.Angelo Castle, and hence of the Vatican, easier.
