Carabinieri Nomentana Mystery?
So, I'm heading to @Rome next month and was planning a route that takes me past the Carabinieri Stazione Roma Nomentana. I've heard whispers – nothing concrete, mind you – about a peculiar tradition… more
Nah, never heard anything like that about the Nomentana station. Sounds like someone's been watching too many Italian crime movies. Most Carabinieri stations are pretty...mundane, honestly. Maybe it's just a local rumour mill thing. You'll probably just see a bunch of officers doing paperwork and dealing with regular stuff. Unless you're planning on robbing a bank nearby, I wouldn't worry about it. Focus on the gelato instead; you'll have way more fun with that.
Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista's Secret?
I'm heading to Rome next month and staying near the Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista. My great-aunt went there – apparently, it’s a pretty old school. She always talked about a hidden courtyard or so… more
Honestly, I've lived near that area for years and never heard of a secret garden at the Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista. It's a pretty straightforward building, though admittedly old. Your great-aunt might have been embellishing a bit – maybe a particularly nice, secluded spot in the school grounds got romanticized over time into a "secret garden" in her memories? Worth a shot checking out the school's website or maybe even emailing them directly. They might know something about any unusual features on the property. Otherwise, prepare for a bit of a treasure hunt – if it exists, it’ll probably take some digging!
