Market, Ghetto Tour & Cooking Class
Meet Umberto for your early morning Market Tour to the famous Campo Dei Fiori market, that fills with vendors each morning selling fresh fruits, vegetables, spices and more. ‘All roads lead to Rome,’ as Italian farmers and producers bring their best to the Eternal City each day. Umberto explains what’s in season and how the Roman Jews use each ingredient in cooking.
Continue through the Roman Jewish Ghetto neighborhood and learn about the history and traditions of this fascinating quarter of Rome from your local guide who grew up there.
