We’ve lived high, we’ve lived low. We’ve slept in castles, on wooden floors, in guest rooms, on trains, in tents, and on houseboats. But this was the first dorm room we ever slept in. And because we happened to show up between terms, we had the entire four building complex all to ourselves. The place could have made a great setting for a Shining-esque horror movie. Instead, it turned out to be the ideal location for our four day family adventure in Rome.How did we find this place you ask? Two years ago, our good friend Victor married our good friend Anna and we attended the most fabulous wedding we’ve ever experienced in the garden of this architecture school in the heart of the Trastavere neighborhood of Rome (and, of course, we made a short film about it). Anna’s parents Romolo and Helena run an architecture program here for American students abroad. For the weekend of Victor and Anna’s wedding, the place was dubbed Rome Camp and many guests of the wedding stayed in the dorms, but we had a nearby apartment. This time, we bunked right here and lived happily like a family of college students.
As always I loved the filming and music…. but since Rome is my favorite city I have ever been to, this was even more special… Too bad you didn’t get to meet Luigi… you would have loved him, too!
Venice…the best of all! And hopefully you are getting there before the summer crowds. Bob and I have been watching the Donna Leon Commasario Brunetti series on DVD made in Venice of course but by German production company so German language with English subtitles! Wonderful because Venice just comes shining through…and all the mixed languages make me feel we are traveling with you mixing countries and customs…..carry on,
C’mon!!!!!!! C’MON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why you gotta be so good at this?! I’m cryin over here!

That view! The furniture in the dorm, the garden, everything!WOW
LIFE IN THE CAHZUAL LANE…
And the Mr. Mark music—as sweet as a summer afternoon in Roma.
And to accompany il maestro, Franny makes a daisy-headband thing….
I’m drinking it all in and eating it all up!

Love this!
Your adventure continues to charm. I want to stay in a dormitory in Roma!
I’ll bet it was great to spread out a bit! I love Rome and I’m sure you could have made a thousand movies there…I liked this one, though.
What is the name of this place and how can it be booked?
