Rome, Open City

“Arrivederci, Roma Good bye, au revoir…” – Renato Rascel, Arrivederci Roma
Every time I say goodbye to Rome I feel a lump in my throat. The Eternal City has the power to insinuate in me a sense of sweet nostalgia, just as the old hit by the histrionic Renato Rascel. After all, it is here that I lived two of the best years of my life. However, this year that subdued sorrow quickly made way for a congenial satisfaction. Satisfaction in understanding that the Italian political capital city, far from the spotlight of the coolest Milan, is going through a moment of growing creative ferment: even and above all in fashion.
