I would like to present my friend Emma who is an Italian language teacher who lives in Rome. I had the opportunity to meet up with Emma last year in Rome and together we explored the Roman ghetto and later had a dinner in a delightful trattoria. That evening we dined on artichokes, pasta carbonara and drank a very good red wine. As we ate, the restaurant owner sat at a table near-by peeling crates and crates of artichokes and he happily joined in our conversation from time to time.
Emma is delightful she is now opening her home up to language students who would like to immerse in language and culture. If you stay with her you will not only learn Italian, but you will see a lively side of Rome, not many tourists are privy too!

What you will find in Rome!
Rome is one of the most beautiful and famous cities in the world. It is the capital of Italy and was one of the centers during ancient history. In Rome you can find the remains of Roman civilization, as well as some interesting medieval churches, paintings and Renaissance statues, architectures and Baroque works.
Rome has many museums and art exhibitions. But Rome is above all a city to be enjoyed, with its characteristic neighborhoods, its metropolitan chaos in which to look for bars and clubs in which to escape and to make up for the atmospheres that these places emanate. It is unique with its 34 centuries of urban history. Every event in the history of the city has left its mark, the numerous layers of history of the city contribute to its unique character and charm.
