Spring is in the air, Erik has become a real (pale) Italian and Marta reveals the real reason for coming to Rome soon…

Rome is one of the European capital cities with the most green area in proportion to the city’s total surface. And oh, do romans know how to use them!

Marta tells us about the “villas”, the historic countryside homes that became our public parks: Villa Borghese, Villa Ada, Villa Doria Pamphilij and many more, while Erik goes to Parco Degli Acquedotti to celebrate April 25th and the Liberation day. Why the aqueducts? Why picnic?

And how much do you have to pay to get yourself your own piece of Villa Ludovisi?

Music: Ace of Base – Life is a flower; Milva – Bella Ciao!; Dean Martin – On an evening in Roma (Sott’er celo de Roma)
