monte della farina





The Antica Vineria di via Monte della Farina, at number 37 of the namesake street (Tel. +39 06 688 06989) is more like a small town wine shop than a trendy aperitivo spot, with old men sipping their vino at the counter, and spilled by a spigot in the wall; and loyal guests ambling in regularly come 6 p.m. every day for their glass of Frascati. The functioning '50s fridge, the relaxed ambience and partners Marco and Giancarlo pouring glasses for their aficionado clientele, make this true Roman hang-out a must see.

  1. This looks very pleasant, and your description makes it even more attractive. If I make it to Rome, may I buy you a glass?

  2. Ciao Eleonora, complimenti per le ue foto, e per i tuoi siti. Certo che Roma è sempre magica, ogni angolo, ogni palazzo, ti riporta indietro nel tempo a varie epoche. Solo che è rovinata dall'incuria, dallo smog, e dal traffico. Io vivo a 40km a sud di roma ad artena.Ciao

    Ho amici ad Artena! È vero, Roma è magica ma praticamente invivibile. Ogni tanto sogno una casetta nel verde, con l'orto, magari vicino alla spiaggia...

    Thank you! I'm happy you like the header. It's a photo that I believe summarizes Rome: a city full of charm, contrasts, contradictions, majestic structures and often fragile anatomy...
