Rome and Via dell’Oca: artisanal splendor in the eternal city

Rome is not a city like other.It is a great museum, a living room to be crossed on tiptoes (Alberto Sordi)

Via dell’Oca is a delightful Roman road a few steps from Piazza del Popolo. A goal away from the well-known Roman shopping streets. In the Sixties and Eighties it was a zone of writers, poets and artists such as Elsa Morante, Alberto Moravia and Isabella Rossellini.Today there is a world of workshop and refined shops where creativity and savoir faire are at home. And I was pleasantly impressed.Absolutely not to be missed is Artisanal Cornucopia, a chic emporium where fashion, art and design intersect perfectly.Unmissable at number 39 is the Bomba boutique- tailoring: fine fabrics and unstructured models for a timelessly precious items. For fans of hats there is the ancient manufacture of Patrizia Fabri, a special space where you can perceive the magic of the modista atelier, between sculptural headdresses and unique pieces made using the old wooden forms. And if you want a exclusive jewel, handmade by the artistic and eclectic fantasy of the owner is obligatory stage Glam, interesting boutique where you can also find original gift ideas.

Via dell’Oca, an emotional discovery of the splendid Rome…
