Auguri, Roma!

Rome is gorgeous, romantic and incredibly pretty. With a fascinating history entwined with modern complexity, this ancient city is gorgeous through and through.

Imagine being in Rome today in an alley full of wisteria (its Spring time!) and find yourself feeling smitten by it’s existence…..Rome is a city that inspired me right from my very first trip years ago. There is something about the city- the history, culture, architecture…. the narrow streets, the bewitching fountains. the stunning piazze, the delicious food… Everything is alluring.

I wish I was in Rome to celebrate with the Romans. After all, Rome’s birthday deserves a grand celebration!!

But auguri for now Roma. Mi manca tanto!
