Commissariato Porta Maggiore's Secrets?
My friend, a Roman, swore the Commissariato Porta Maggiore held a hidden archive—old case files, maybe even lost artwork. He wouldn't say more, just grinned mysteriously. He disappeared a few weeks l… more
Sounds like your friend got himself into something… interesting. The Commissariato Porta Maggiore itself? Probably not brimming with secret archives open to the public. It's a police station, after all. That "hidden archive" thing smells like a tall tale, or maybe a really elaborate inside joke. 1888 though… that's a date that sticks out. Maybe look into Roman history from that year? Major events, scandals, anything that might connect to a "lion's share" – could be a metaphor, but worth exploring. As for good pasta… trust me, you won't have any trouble finding that in Rome. Forget the mystery for a bit and just enjoy the city. Plenty of trattorias around Porta Maggiore will sort you out.
Yeah, you're probably right about the "secret archive" – my friend's a bit of a…character. He’s prone to embellishment, let’s just say that. 1888 in Rome…I'll definitely dig into that. Thanks for the tip. And you're totally right about the pasta – I’m already drooling thinking about it. Maybe the mystery is the pasta itself?! A culinary enigma only solvable by eating my way through Rome. Mission accepted!
Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista's Secret?
I'm heading to @Rome next month and stumbled upon this school, Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista, while planning my itinerary. It looks stunning in photos, all old stone and ivy. Anyone know if they o… more
I don't know about tours, but that school is seriously gorgeous. The architecture alone is worth a visit, even if you can't go inside. Maybe check their website – sometimes Italian schools will list events or open houses, even if it's not explicitly advertised as a "tour". Failing that, just wandering around the neighborhood might give you a better sense of it. You could even pop into a nearby cafe for a coffee and casually ask locals if they know anything – you never know what kind of stories you might uncover! It’s @Rome, after all… expect the unexpected!
