"Porta s. Sebastiano" used to be an ancient entrance to the city of Rome. Today, you can walk along the walls and enjoy the stunning views...

The market next to the Egeria water plant in Rome, or the "Mercato fonte Egeria", is an opportunity to meet regional farmers and buy fresh local produce!

"Cecilia Metella's Tomb" is a bit outside Rome's city center, but I love coming here to write among the ancient buildings & the Appia Antica road...

I come to the "Palazzo Venezia Garden" whenever I want to forget that I even am in Rome. It's perfect even for taking naps in the midst of it all...
By
"Stadio dei Marmi" in Rome is a stadium where anyone can come to train for free, but the atmosphere is so chill, it's also great for reading your book...

"Caffè Ciamei" has the oldest coffee license in Rome and it's still one of my favorite places in town to get a cup. Try their cremina instead of sugar!
By
"Osteria Bonelli" is the real deal: here you can get your favorite dishes of the Roman tradition mixed with some modern entries, as well as some rarities.

Up for dramas, love, emotions, or -Â why not - theatre? Well, then the church of "S. Maria della Vittoria" in Rome is your place.

About me
Hey I’m Max, born and raised in Rome. After many years spent abroad, I've been back in my hometown a couple of years now and eager to share its beauty with people passionate about it.
Currently, I'm working as a tour guide. I usually take people to visit the gorgeous panoramas and monuments of Rome. I also do food tours, letting people try the greatest food we have here.
I’m passionate about music, travelling (of course) and history. Another of my passions are languages - indeed, that is my red thread throughout my travels, keen to learn and, as far as I can, master the languages of the countries I lived in for a while.
Why Rome?
Rome has many facets and layers - I've just now started discovering the most unknown ones and that makes me excited about living here. I've been looking into the history of the city for a couple of years, I've since started looking at it with totally different eyes. It's so far from the place I knew.
Knowing how to interact properly with people also makes me eager to look for
stories about my city, listening to all the people I meet, exchanging information and letting them tell me about their realities, their past, their lives.
That is the reason I always get motivated to learn more about the place I'm living in.
Certainly, food also has its importance. For me, learning about new places, recipes and traditions has its own place in the study of a place, along with its history and the actors that make the difference.
