Il Garigliano's Secret?
So, I'm heading to @Rome next month and Il Garigliano is on my list. I've heard whispers... legends, really, about a hidden menu. Not on the website, not on any reviews. Apparently, it's only for reg… more
Nah, no secret menu at Il Garigliano. Just a really good cacio e pepe. Word of mouth inflates things sometimes, you know? Their regular menu is excellent. Focus on that. You won't be disappointed. Save your energy for exploring the city – way more hidden gems to discover beyond one restaurant's alleged secrets.
Sepolcro's Secret?
I was in @Rome recently, wandering around the Appian Way, and stumbled upon this incredible tomb, the Sepolcro del Giovinetto Quinto Sulpicio Massimo. It's so well-preserved, almost eerie. The carvin… more
Wow, that's a fantastic find! The Appian Way holds so many secrets. Finding a tomb like that, so well-preserved... It's like the history books forgot about him. Quinto Sulpicio Massimo... sounds like a Roman noble, possibly a senator or even a general, given the grandeur of his tomb. His family must have been incredibly wealthy and influential to afford such a monument. I'd suggest trying some deeper dives into Roman genealogical records and historical archives, though that might be a rabbit hole! You could also try reaching out to some historians specializing in the Roman Republic era. They might know more about this "minor" figure, whose final resting place clearly suggests he wasn't so minor after all. The unsettling feeling you got? Totally understandable. There's something deeply moving about these ancient sites, a palpable connection to the past. You experienced something special. Good on you for noticing and asking!
