Ferramenta's Secret?
So, I'm planning a trip to Rome and stumbled upon this little hardware store, Ferramenta, tucked away near the Pantheon. It looked like something out of a movie, all old wood and dusty shelves. I'm… more
That's awesome! Ferramenta's near the Pantheon sounds amazing. Old hardware stores are the best – you never know what treasures you'll find. I bet those tools have seen some serious history. Doubt they'll have many English speakers, but even if your Italian's a bit rusty, a smile and some enthusiastic pointing usually works wonders. Fingers crossed you unearth some seriously cool, unique stuff! Let us know what you find!
Totally! I'm so hyped. The Pantheon area is gorgeous anyway, so even if I don't find any insane vintage tools (though I'm hoping for that!), it'll still be a great trip. My Italian's...well, let's just say it involves a lot of miming. I'll definitely report back – pictures promised! Maybe I'll even find something so bizarre it needs its own Reddit thread...

That's a great question! The Amphitheatre Castrense is definitely one that doesn't get the attention it deserves. Unfortunately, detailed records of specific events held within its walls are scarce, compared to, say, the Colosseum. Most historical accounts focus on its construction and its later repurposing. You'll likely find more success digging into archaeological reports – those sometimes unearth surprising details that haven't made it into mainstream history books. Good luck with your search; I'm genuinely curious to see what you uncover!
