I would like to volunteer as a Catholic travel companion – I’ve seen San Clemente’s basement AND the oldest Nativity scenes in Rome. And I can shove gypsies away from your camera bag without any guilt feelings whatsoever.

Giolitti. Definitely.

BTW, Gregory Peck is Catholic (or WAS, rather) — he’s buried in the underground crypts at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles and had his funeral Mass there too.

As someone who has frequented both Della Palma AND Giolittis, I can say that in my professional opinion Giolitti’s gelato is superior.

sorry, Ian is correct about Della Palma…best best best!!! He did leave out the Druid’s Den as the best irish pub in Rome (the fiddlers elbow is so cliche), and Cafe St Eustachio has the best cappuccino (keep walking past coming from the piazza navona and you literally run into the pantheon…time for gelato!). My Rome tour guide, Fr James Lehrberger, told us that you can always tell the name of church in a piazza – they are always named after the cafe.

Rome sweet home!!!

I’m sorry, but Della Palma is not the best gelato in Rome. Giolitti’s is much better. Otherwise a good article.

If the edges were sharp enough he COULD cut off your head with his hauberk.

“halberd” — righteous polearm of destruction.

“hauberk” — tunic-shaped piece of armor.

Medieval vocab. Love it. Learn it. Live it.

Oh he is sooooo Catholic and has a totally wicked (good wicked) sense of humor.

OK I am in a good mood now!

Hey,

Are you Catholic? The part about felt banners and answering to God really cracked me up. This blog has a lot of potential. You need to post more stuff.

God bless, Maureen
