Rome isn’t just about ancient ruins and breathtaking architecture — it’s also a city that excites the taste buds! Italian cuisine is famous worldwide, and in Rome, some of the simplest dishes are also the most memorable. Here are three classic foods every visitor should know when exploring the Eternal City. 

1. Gelato: Sweet, Creamy, and Irresistible

Gelato is more than ice cream — it’s an Italian tradition. Creamy, smooth, and bursting with flavour, it comes in everything, from pistachio and chocolate to fresh seasonal fruits. Walking along Rome’s cobblestone streets with a gelato in hand is a quintessential Italian experience. Italy takes gelato seriously, hosting events like the Gelato Europe Cup 2025, where top gelato makers compete for a spot in the prestigious Gelato World Cup at SIGEP 2026. These competitions celebrate the artistry, creativity, and timeless tradition of Italian gelato.

2. Simple Pizza: A Taste of Tradition

Rome is famous for its thin, crisp pizza, topped with just a few fresh ingredients. The classic Margherita pizza, made with tomato, mozzarella, and basil, is the perfect example — simple yet bursting with flavor. Created in 1889 and named after Queen Margherita of Savoy, its vibrant red, white, and green toppings proudly mirror the Italian flag, making it a true symbol of Italy's culinary heritage.

3. Simple Pasta: Comfort in Every Bite

Pasta is the heart of Italian cuisine, and dishes like Cacio e Pepe prove that less can be more. Just pasta, cheese, and pepper — yet the result is rich, comforting flavour. Each forkful is a small taste of Rome’s timeless culinary heritage. Did you know Italy has over 350 pasta shapes, each designed to hold sauces differently? From long strands of spaghetti to short twists of fusilli, every shape tells its own delicious story.

A Taste of Rome — Without a Fork

Even if you’re not tasting every dish firsthand, learning about these iconic foods adds a flavourful layer to your Rome experience. Gelato, pizza, pasta — each tells a story of Italian tradition, simplicity, and joy.

‍

✨Rome’s cuisine is a celebration of tradition, creativity, and heritage — the perfect complement to its history, art, and vibrant streets.

Florence is one of Italy’s most inspiring cities — a city where beauty, history, and creativity quietly meet. Known as the heart of the Renaissance, it offers more than just stunning sights. For the thoughtful traveller, Florence invites deeper reflection through its art, architecture, and timeless atmosphere.

The Duomo and the Arno: Beauty in Balance

At the heart of the city stands the impressive Florence Cathedral (Duomo) with its iconic red dome — a great example of skill and creativity. Close by, the gentle Arno River winds its way through the city, flowing past centuries-old buildings and open piazzas. A simple walk along its banks offers moments of calm and quiet wonder.

Ponte Vecchio: Where Commerce and Craft Meet

Spanning the Arno is the historic Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s oldest and most unique bridge. Once filled with butchers and merchants, today it’s home to goldsmiths and jewellers — offering beautiful views and a living connection to the city’s rich trading past.

Piazza della Signoria: Art, Power, and Presence

In Piazza della Signoria, one of the city’s most important public squares, stands Michelangelo’s David — a powerful symbol of strength and courage. Here, art and community come together in a space that has shaped the city’s story for centuries.

The Uffizi Gallery: Reflections Through Art

Not far away is the world-famous Uffizi Gallery, home to masterpieces by Botticelli, da Vinci, and Michelangelo. These paintings and sculptures are not only beautiful — they often reflect deep questions about life, light, and meaning, offering quiet moments of thought for those who pause to look.

Florence: A Place to Pause and Be Inspired

There’s something about Venice that captures the imagination — a city that seems to float, yet is grounded in centuries of story, struggle, and strength. Built by refugees on a lagoon more than 1,500 years ago, Venice rose from uncertainty and turned into a marvel of art, architecture, and culture. Its beauty is obvious, but for those who look a little deeper, Venice also reveals truths that echo themes of faith, perseverance, and purpose.

Here are five fascinating facts that show why Venice isn’t just a city to visit — it’s one to ponder.

1. Venice’s Many Nicknames Reflect Its Unique Spirit

‍Venice wears its many nicknames like badges of honour — each revealing a different facet of the city’s soul. “La Serenissima” reflects its era as a peaceful and sovereign republic. “The Floating City” and “The City of Canals” describe its breathtaking geography, where waterways replace roads. Perhaps the most poetic is “The Bride of the Sea,” a name celebrated every year through a symbolic ceremony in which Venice is wedded to the Adriatic— a tradition that reflects its deep and enduring bond with the sea.

2. Built on Wood, Standing by Grace

Though it may seem to float effortlessly, Venice is firmly anchored deep in the lagoon. The city rests on millions of wooden piles, driven into the soft mud centuries ago. Remarkably, these waterlogged pillars hardened over time, fossilizing beneath the water to form a strong and lasting foundation. There’s a quiet message here: what holds us up is often unseen. Like lives grounded in faith or families built on trust, it is the hidden foundations that carry us through the storms of time.

3. The Bridges That Bind

With over 400 bridges, Venice doesn’t merely span canals — it connects people, places, and stories. Some, like the Rialto Bridge, are grand and historic, once bustling with merchants and traders. Others, like the Bridge of Sighs, speak of sorrow and final glimpses of freedom. Then, there’s the Bridge of Fists, a reminder that even in moments of conflict, there is room for resolution and renewal. In Venice, bridges are more than architecture — they are symbols of unity, reminding us that connection is always possible, even across the widest divides. 

4. Where the Word “Ghetto” Was Born

In 1516, the Jewish population of Venice was confined to a designated area known as the Ghetto Nuovo, near a former foundry. It was from this setting that the word “ghetto” originated. Despite the restrictions placed upon them, the Jewish community fostered a vibrant spiritual and cultural life that left a lasting mark on the city. Their story reflects a deeper truth: even within boundaries, dignity, creativity, and faith can flourish. Today, the Venetian Ghetto remains a place of remembrance — quiet, resilient, and deeply significant.

5. A City That Stands Against the Tide

Venice is slowly sinking and rising sea levels have made flooding a familiar challenge. Yet the city does not give in to despair. Through careful planning and determined effort — including the MOSE flood barrier project — Venice continues to protect its fragile beauty. There’s something quietly hopeful in that: a city that chooses to stand, adapt, and endure. In many ways, Venice reflects the human spirit — vulnerable, yet resilient; weathered, yet full of grace.

A City That Invites You to Reflect — and Explore

Venice isn’t just a beautiful place — it’s a city with soul. In its churches, canals, and quiet corners, it invites visitors not only to see, but to slow down and listen. To hear the whispers of history. To reflect on what endures. And for those walking in faith, Venice offers gentle reminders that even in a world shaped by water and change, some things remain anchored — beauty, community, and quiet strength.

If this timeless city stirs something in you, we invite you to journey with us and experience Venice for yourself — not just as a destination, but as a place of meaning, wonder, and thoughtful discovery.
