rocking out at molto

My intro to Rome is via the driver from the airport to the hotel. He asks where my Dad and I are from and when we answer “L.A.”,  he says “Marlon Brando” and proceeds to whistle the theme from the Godfather. In-between whistling, he points out sites like the Mouth of Truth (um, maybe not), the Coliseum and some cool spot where they used to have chariot races. I’m thrilled that I can now say I’ve done the culture thing so I can proceed to sites like Prada, Bottega and Cucinelli. Um, fashion is culture too, right?

I feel a super strong bond with Rome since we both have a history associated with RUINS – ahaha!
