Cafe Notegen
February 14, 2008
Truly lost in time, a place where we come and imagine the last 100 years have never happened. We challenge you to find a cafe more charming than this.
Historically, this was a gathering place for Rome’s intellectual and artistic elite, which is as appealing to our egos as to our sense of cultural history. Even Bertolucci has shown his face here.
Open late, serving food and alcohol as well as fine coffee this is one of those unique cafes that are sadly being multinationalised out of many our world’s great cities.
There are often debates, poetry recitals and photographic exhibitions, which can nourish your creative soul as you nourish your physical body.
Ultrabeat @ Goa Club
February 14, 2008
This is an extremely long running, weekly club night in a venue that hosts an array of ear-pounding successful club nights in a lively and vibrant district of the city.
The ethos, to us, seems to be bringing all of Goa’s chilled-out comforts and tranced-up techno vibes to Rome. Presented in a swaggeringly cool and trendy setting with a relaxed, rather than exclusive, atmosphere and definitely far more for the hipsters than the hippies.
Easily and regularly attracting superstar DJs, on Thursday 21st Sven Vath, currently on a world tour, is dropping in.
Tosca
January 23, 2008
If you’ve managed to find your way to Rome for either business or pleasure, you’re truly blessed. If you’re going to be in town before the 23rd, mamma mia, we believe you’re doubly blessed.
Playing at the Teatro Dell’Opera until then is Tosca, the venue where this tragic Roman tale was originally premiered in 1900.
Back with a wondrously talented international cast, there is unlikely to be an abundance of spare tickets for this Puccini classic, and unsurprisingly they’re not going cheap but definitely worth every cent.
