Live Like a Roman

Season 4 Episode 403

I love Rome. I love the chaos, the traffic, the culture, the people, the history and the food. Ah, the food. But the lifestyle is what really grabs me and won’t let go. A powerhouse of a city that manages wealth, history, banking, commerce, tourism and all the trapping of a major cultural hub, life in Rome has a rhythm that sings to me.
