In a city with an abundance of art history and style, advertising can barely keep up. Peugeot’s recent Sistine Scooter campaign adorns city buses. It’s eye-catching and reads “And Peugeot Created the Scooter.” But did Adam really have to ask God if he could borrow the keys?
On the second and fourth Sunday of every month Romans are treated to an organic food market in Vicolo della Moretta. The fare changes by season, but the market is always packed with fruits and vegetables grown by hard-working farmers who till the soil of the boot-shaped peninsula. We love to reward them for their labors by buying their produce is large quantities. This week the shopping bags were full of fresh artichokes, zucchini flowers, bieta, carrots, spring onions, chicory and fresh peas. Yummmm!
Year-round you’ll also find delicious whole grain breads sold by their bakers and amazing cheeses. We can’t get enough of the pecorino al mirto – a hard sheep’s cheese aged in myrtle leaves.
