  • The Parchment with the Papal Blessing is something we donate to special people we love and care. Any important occassion can be a good reason to order one of this to the Vatican.
    Somebody as to go there personally to make the request, choose the model and provide full details of the person or couple who will get it.
    Go to the Sant'Anna door at the Vatican and ask for the Elemosineria Apostolica. It is open Monday to Friday from 9am till 12.

  • The abbreviation S.P.Q.R. comes from the expression Senatus PopulusQue Romanus (Latin: the Senate and the People of Rome) and you can see it everywhere around the Eternal City.

     Great gelato tip! I've been only in Old Bridge, from the ones you mention, and so far it's the best gelato I've eaten! I'll check the other places when I return ;)
