  • Perhaps the most iconic view in Rome is the magnificent Saint Peter’s Dome, a masterpiece of Michelangelo. He began the dome when he was already 71 years old and died in 1564 before its completion by his student in 1590.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although many of Rome’s most renowned artist and sculptors including Bernini and Bramante were involved in the Basilica itself only Michelangelo was involved in the Dome.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Take a close look at it: does the dome look familiar to you? It probably should because it was the model for the US capitol in Washington DC, not to mention many other domes worldwide.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you know that you can climb to the top of the dome? From high above the views of Rome are spectacular, but bear in mind that the narrow stairway and nearly 500 stairs are not for everyone! If you suffer from claustrophobia content yourself to see the dome from below!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vaticanmuseum #michelangelo #saintpetersbasilica #SaintPetersDeli #ClimbingStPetersDome #romeitaly🇮🇹 #romeview #bestviewofrome #travelhacks #travelgram #rome🇮🇹 #basilicadisanpietro #basilicasanpietro #sanpietrobasilica #vaticanmuseums #roma🇮🇹
  • AIRBNB ROME with a POOL!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This might be the single most favorite feature everyone loves at our Airbnb! Although we are a stone’s throw from the center of Rome, and Saint Peters Dome is visible off in the distance what our clients love most of all is to come back after a hot day touring the city and jump right in the pool. And even though we are in an area that is tourist free and restaurants are only filled with locals you can still reach the center of Rome by extended metro in just under 20 minutes. Need I say more?

  • When you take the boat to the island of CAPRI in the height of summer this is what you will face when you approach the funicular! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After you’ve taken a train to Naples, found your way over to the port and then want to jump on the funicular to go up the mountain into the town center of Capri this long wait… sometimes an hour or more… can be too much to bear! Especially when it’s super hot!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TRAVEL TIP: Instead of waiting for the funicular, just around the corner from where you get off the boat is a taxi stand. Make the investment and grab a cab! And guess what? It’s also a beautiful ride and the cabs are unique and a lot of fun!⠀ Go to the link in my profile for information on our weeklong CULINARY VACATION TO CAPRI❤️ #traveltip #traveltips #capriitaly #traveltoitaly #capriisland #islandofcapri #flavorofItaly #naplesinsider #naplesitaly #italytravel #travelitaly #italytravels #travelhacks #travelhack #traveling #italiantrip #italiantrips #hiddenitaly #tripitaly #italytravel #italytravels #travelitaly #italy #italiantrip

  • What’s the most UNIQUE VEGETABLE you have in your SUMMER GARDEN?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mine might be these milky white eggplants! I just started planting white eggplants a few summers ago and I love them. It’s strictly a visual thing because flavor-wise they are pretty much the same as dark purple and purple & white striped eggplants.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We have eggplants in abundance so lots of them I freeze. I also make up a lot of eggplant Parmesan and freeze that too! How about you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #eggplant #eggplants #summergarden #vegetablegarden #vegetariandishes #italianfoodporn #foodhacks #whiteeggplant #vegetablegardening #vegetablesoup #eggplantparmesan #flavorofitaly #travelhacks #eatingforinsta #sundayfunday #sundaymotivation
