Monday Roman foods tour

We took a 5 hour tour with Elizabeth Minchilli in the Campo di Fiori and Jewish Ghetto area. The tour was focussed on Roman foods, traditions and the changing area. We started with coffee in a small shop run by an 85 year old woman, who doesn’t like her photo taken.D98E7268-911E-456D-B501-DADEED9309ED_1_105_c
