DH and I are watching Greg Wallace in Rome and shouting at the screen! ? Purporting to be a historian and saying he knows it well. No he doesn't!!!
He was standing right beside our hotel, how dare he rub it in, that I can't go there! ?
Marydoll I was in Rome in 2019 for a wedding. We were actually really shocked by how dirty and slightly seedy a lot of it was. However we loved a visit to the Antica Farmacia I. trastevere
Also have you read Anthony Doerr’s book “Four seasons in Rome”? It’s autobiographical. I loved it.
I am so sorry you are unable to travel there.
