When in Rome
Wake Up
Sant’ Eustachio Il Caffè
“I love going for a morning coffee at bar Sant’ Eustachio without the summer crowds. The air is crisp, the coffee warm, and the atmosphere is electric.”—Antonio Sersale
Indulge
Massimo Maria Melis
“I go say hello to my friend Massimo Maria Melis, a very special jeweler whom I love. He makes pieces with ancient cameos or Roman stones, including the simple marble stones that you find in most Italian church floors. His atelier is very near my home on via dell’Orso.” —Carla Sersale
Procure
Macelleria Angelo Feroci
“Feroci is the ultimate delicatessen.” —A.S.
Stay
Hotel Locarno
