Rome is big and chaotic and loud. I lived there for decades. This is how I would spend one perfect day in the eternal city

Spiritus Sanctus Trudon candle

Lighting candles in Roman and Venetian churches is an almost daily ritual for me. This fancy candle smells just like that. (the handblown glass container made in Tuscany is also gorgeous.

Teensy Tiny moka pot

This tiny coffee pot in the colors of the Italian flag makes me happy every afternoon when I make a single espresso just for me.
