“Breakfast at the hotel was bread smeared with chocolate. Did you know that’s actually a thing in Italy? I went for gelato at Giolitti’s, sampled pasta dishes at two different trattorias, ate pizza rustica while walking around the market at Campo de’ Fiori and then I took a picnic to the Villa Borghese gardens, where I ate olives and cheese and drank wine while sitting under a tree. That was Day One.”
