Art on a Plate 🎨🍽️
Who says all art in Rome has to be in a museum? Some of the city’s most exciting masterpieces are edible. At @53.untitled.restaurant—founded and run by women—Roman tradition meets modern creativity in dishes that are as stunning as they are delicious. We had the absolute pleasure of dining here and found every bite a revelation. Refreshing, bold, and beautifully plated, this is Rome’s culinary scene at its most inspired. The service was so friendly, and the sommelier was so knowledgeable that we wanted to stay for breakfast.

Caravaggio for a Coin 🎨💡 Tucked inside an unassuming church on Piazza del Popolo, two of Caravaggio’s greatest masterpieces sit in near darkness—until you drop a €1 coin into the lightbox. Suddenly, The Conversion of Saint Paul and The Crucifixion of Saint Peter blaze to life, their shadows and drama more intense than any museum spotlight could manage. Somehow, no one is ever here. No lines, no crowds—just you, Caravaggio, and the weight of history. If you know, you know. ✨ #RomeSecrets #Caravaggio #HiddenMasterpieces #SantaMariaDelPopolo #BaroqueDrama #RomeOffTheBeatenPath #LightItUp #ArtInTheDark #TimelessTreasures #SeeItForYourself
