Easter Palace!! can’t believe I forgot!
Okay, so I totally skipped out on a whole lot of blogging all around easter in rome. I blame the lack of things being open/lack of time to write.
For anyone paying closce attention, I will fill you in on the fact that it was in fact the house of a countess where I spent my Easter brunch. Palazzo Campo de Fiore. The rooftop views were amazing and I got a sense of the high life in Rome. We sat down on lovely patio furniture outside, while plates of food were constantly being delivered to our laps. I had a plate of pasta, a plate of various meats, a plate of vegetables including half an artichoke, a lovely bread and icecream desert, a fruit desert, a liqueur and chocolate desert, and coffee. It was decadent. I didn’t understand much of anything anyone was saying, but I got that there were some funny stories about Italian dialects being exchanged. I spoke with a lovely old Italian rich man, who when I told him I work for the department of agriculture, told me about how when he was a boy he planted seeds one by one in a row every ten centimetres, then watched them grow and reaped them in the fall. Now he is rich. I love this man. He spoke italian and I french and we managed. From that patio I could see every major church and monument in Rome, practically.
