Colosseo al Cocomero

A Watermelon Carved to Look Like the Colosseum

In the late summer, some of Rome’s nightlife moves to the beach, while other bars, restaurants, and cafes take up residence on the banks of the Tiber River. There’s a breeze down there – even when one can’t be found elsewhere in the Eterna – and so the Romans take themselves riverside for dining, drinking, and even a bit of dancing.

Those looking for a healthier version of nightlife along the river will find themselves in luck because there’s at least one brilliantly illuminated stand selling already cut up fresh fruit. You can order a bowl of peaches, cherries, bananas, plums, nectarines, cantaloupe, or apricots. Or, if the mood strikes you, you might consider ordering a watermelon (cocomero in Roman dialect, anguria in the rest of Italy) carved to look like the Colosseum! Buon appetito!
