Rome Sweet Rome
Hi friends, here is your friend –big- mouth knows -all about- it .
During one of my tours around the wonderful Eternal city of Rome , after I was duly impressed by my visit to the great Rome Pantheon followed by the very interesting walk into and around the Rome Church of San Ignazio di Loyola (Where there is a great masterpiece of 3d conception) I found out something else altogether which was no less interesting.
You would suppose that an Ice cream Parlour that appears in every travel guide is only for tourist people that go to fancy places and ignore all about the secrets of the “natives” , the romans in our case.
Well, you would be wrong to assume so… Indeed the Roman ice cream parlour Giolitti at Via del Vicario 44 is probably the best ice cream shop in town. Be bold and and you may try any flavour : you will not be disappointed, and do not forget to add the delicious panna on top (cream). For those who really crave ice cream there is one special ice cream of almost 90 cm long.
You can see lots of clerks and all kinds of local people crowding the place including the famous. The other day on my way to Giolitti I bumped into the popular Italian singer Renato Zero, who was also cruising to the ice cream place. I said hi, he replied pleasantly with a smile and went on at a leisurely pace to choose his ice cream flavours. There also place for take a seat and relax while you are planning your next visit or tour.
It is springtime now that I’m dropping this lines for you fellows, but they told on winter the hot chocolate with panna (cream) is fantastic!!!
Few meters from there you find the spectacular Marco Aurelius Column (they say that the one of Trajan at the Forums is better, but you will not climb that high to check the difference)
In front at the Corner Via del Corso and Via del Tritone stands the Alberto Sordi Gallery, which is a beautiful Shopping Mall made within an ancient building . Alberto Sordi is a famous roman actor and in one his movies he played the part of an Italian guy trying to ‘’become’’ an American. Surely the result has to be interesting.
Ok, follow my humble advice (!) , take your girlfriend or boyfriend or whoever, or just go by yourself and have some fresh tastes of Rome.
Other suggestions of Rome Ice cream shops.
