A very smart friend of mine gave me a great idea over a glass of franciacorta the other day.
I am taking her advice and starting a new occasional topic here on Gillian's Lists of things I love called Gillian's Links.

"The list is the origin of culture,” Umberto Eco. My favorite things to do and eat in Rome, European city breaks, and the best information on Italian beaches and islands.

Got Visitors? {Revealed Rome Handbook}
I know, I say it a lot. Rome can be a confusing, chaotic place. And I live here. Say you have some visitors coming to town, and your boss just handed you a giant presentation to draft and it’s one child's school play and the other ones basketball game. You can not possibly be a tour guide. Again.
