Hello Rick, this is Ashwin from Rome. What you had at Al Farnese wasn’t mozzarella, it’s called Burrata, hard from outside like mozzarella but inside is filled with fresh cheese called stracciatella making it super creamy and tastes much much better than mozzarella. My suggestion to all tourists….try Burrata , if not available (as it’s not in menu of all Italian restaurants) then try mozzarella di buffala (Made with milk of water bufalo) is much creamier and richer than regular mozzarella.

Rome, the eternal city . I have been there. It is best explored travelling by foot / bus/ trains. Imbibe its atmosphere, culture, cuisine and night life and street life. I can walk for years in Rome and not be done seeing it all. That is how magnificent Rome is. Kudos to Rick Steves for capturing it in this video.

What I loved about Rome so much was how walkable it was. Main "arteries" of streets led you directly to key area/sites. Which, also made wondering away from these, quite easy to find our way back to our hotel. Rome, the eternal city of "bucket-list" sites.

40? You said this as if you were 90, man :) You're both young and you go and explore. My wife and I are both 45 and we started travelling and exploring not that long ago and if I may suggest something rather important to you both would be this: please do not make the mistake most Americans do when they travel to "Europe" - they only see Paris and London, the postcard places which live in their global mentlaity as real Europe. Nope. Go to Austria, visit the Alps, the Dolomites, see the Netherlands, Brugge - the oldest medieval city on the planet. Go to Poland, see the Baltic Sea, the Hel Peninsula, the Tatra Mountains, Bieszczady Mountains and take a bike ride along the Dunajec River in Pienininy Mountains. See the Czech Republic, see the Balkans: Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro. Visit Greece, Malta, Portugal and its amazing island - Madeira. Go to Budapest, Bavaria (Bayern) in Germany, see Saltzburg and Graz in Austria. While in Italy, visit Lake Como, Lake Garda, and the surrounding villages. Go to Bari, Sicyly, go to Florence, MIlan, Venice, and dozens of mindblowing willages and locations along the route. And, above all, smell, taste, eat and drink as much local stuff as possible. Try to blend in. Feel the locality of the place. Talk to people. I hope you;ll see how life get its meaning when you learn from your travels and thanks to them. Enjoy, and have happy and memorable journeys!

Rome is definitely an incredible city if you love history and art. The traffic, graffiti and smoking is there but it's more than worth having to see this city. In terms of some of the quieter sites the Diocletian and Baths of Carcalla are really worth visiting. I also liked the Eustrucan museum.

Initially I visited Rome a few times with friends but in the mid nineties I moved there for a few years living in the old center. It was absolutely life changing, as I had the time to take it ALL in at my own pace. This was before the ticketing process and then everything was free, uncrowded and cheap (as we had a great exchange with the Lira!). I'm hesitant to go back as it seems quite Disney-esque these days ... but I will! And crowded as it is, I tell everyone to go. The beauty will dazzle you!

Hi Steve, Alfonso from Italy. Nobody knows the reason why the statue of "four river fountains" of Lorenzo Bernini in Piazza Navona in front of Palazzo Pamphilj stay with his arm up. Not to repair from the sunray, but.......... Bernini considered the architect Girolamo Rainaldi (who projected Palazzo Pamphilj) as a mediocre one. So the statue in front of the Palace must protects himself (by his arm up) from the possible collapse of the building!!! this is the real reason of the pose of that statue: a joke of Bernini against Girolamo Rainaldi. Did you know it? Your episodes are the bests!!!!!!
