TripleF

•CHIC

Chez Dédé

Via di Monserrato 35

A journey into the world of Daria and Andrea, a couple in life and work; together they imagine, design and create objects. French music, soft lighting, velvet sofas, tea cups and porcelain plates, lifestyle magazines and vintage books, accessories, such as les grandes sacs, large canvas bags for carrying around town or taking to the beach. Chez Dédé has only one must: to make you feel at home. In short, it is more than a boutique or concept store; it is an authentic and unforgettable experience

•WALKING

Monti district

In the city center, roughly between the Colosseum and Termini station

If you are in search of the most authentic artisan Rome, go to Via dei Banchi Vecchi and the many streets of the Monti district.

Shop windows of young designer entrepreneurs with a lot of drive are cropping up alongside the historic workshops more and more often

•PIZZA

Antico Forno Roscioli

Via dei Chiavari 34

Near Campo de’ Fiori are Forno Roscioli’s extremely thin pizzas, cut with a decisive knife stroke. The queue is a mile long, but it is worth it. And in the meantime, new friendships are made

•MUSEUM

Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea

Viale delle Belle Arti 131

It is also known as the ‘golden mile’ of foreign academies. Visits never really cut it. In addition to the temporary exhibitions, the historicised works are endlessly fascinating. The entrance steps are a stage where you can stop and admire the changing light on the Villa Borghese skyline as the tram passes by

•MARKET

Borghetto Flaminio flea and vintage market

Piazza della Marin, 32

The Borghetto Flaminio market, the chic Sunday ‘garage sale’ that is just a stone’s throw from Piazza del Popolo, where people hunt for designer objects and vintage jewellery pieces. In front of and behind the counter are some local and international well-known faces who decided to play at junk dealers for a hobby
