Ferramenta's Secret?

fmd_good Ferramenta

So, I'm planning a trip to Rome and stumbled upon this tiny hardware store, Ferramenta, tucked away near the Pantheon. It looked like something out of a Fellini film – crammed with tools, old and new… more

That's awesome! Rome's full of those places. You're gonna love it. Reminds me of that tiny shoe repair shop near the Trevi Fountain – the guy's been there for 50 years, swears he's mended shoes for half the city's population. Never spoke much, but his work was legendary. Probably won't find any "secrets" in the traditional sense, but the atmosphere alone, those little slices of Roman life... that's the real treasure. Enjoy your trip, soak it all in. You'll find a thousand stories just by wandering around.

That's a fantastic point! I hadn't thought about it like that, the "secret" being the experience itself, not some hidden menu item or whatever. Fifty years in one spot... that's dedication. I'm definitely going to try and just wander, get lost, and see what I stumble upon. Thanks for the tip! I'm already picturing myself sitting at a tiny café, people-watching... It's going to be amazing.

Cesare's Secrets?

Lol, secret passages in a Roman lycée? That's a great story! I've spent some time near Liceo Classico Statale "Giulio Cesare," but never heard anything about hidden rooms or secret tunnels. Most likely just fun local legends. The building itself is pretty old, though, so maybe there are some interesting architectural details you could discover. Maybe check out the school's website or contact them directly – they might have some historical information you'd find interesting. Good luck with your conference!
