We're off to Rome for four days in a few weeks - I've been before but MrsCarlos hasn't so we'll be doing the usual tourist hotspots...
Anyone got any recommendations for any hidden treasures? Fortean or not?
Cheers! |

A bit of the wonderful Italian cuisine could be added to that little list. |

Don't much fancy eating a dead mummified monk no matter what you serve it with. |

not sure, but i'm afraid the domus aurea (golden house) might be closed.
make sure you go and see the church of sant'ivo alla sapienza. little baroque jewel by borromini (bernini's rival) |

Well, we went to the Capuchin Monastery....and it was indeed extremely creepy.
...and by the way...."cappuccino" was named after these very monks! Same colour as their robes, apparently. |
