BNL Tennis Tournament Rome 2010

admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:20:40 +0000

The 67th edition of the prestigious Internazionali BNL d’Italia will be held from 24th April - 8th May, 2010 at Foro Italico. With record breaking crowds last year, the matches were packed with excitement and thrills, thanks in part to the high caliber of players the tournament attracted.

When the dust had settled it was Rafael Nadal and Dinara Safina who took home the spoils in the singles division. Two weeks of intense competition are played out in the Eternal City, with local and international celebrities coming to see the matches. We were present last year and the vibrant and at times boisterous crowd on hand, added that element of intensity and emotion that can be lacking at other tournaments. Highly recommended that you see at least one match if you will be in Rome during the two week period. Tickets can and should be bought online before your arrival in Rome as tickets sell out quickly. Hope to see you there!

Christmas in Rome

marsha — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:54:34 +0000

One of the most magical times to be in the Eternal City is at Christmas. Stores and streets themselves seem weighted by extravagant decorations and the crush of customers. Each cafè and tea house seems to be bursting under the strain of people escaping from the chilly air. Rome itself has very few days which are cold by the standards of most people and even then the sun makes an appearance most of the time during winter.

This mild weather brings many tourists to the city during this period, but more importantly also to partake in the events surrounding the entire season. It begins officially on 8th December the festival of the Immaculate Conception, when the Pope pays a visit to the Spanish Steps, and flowers are placed over a statue of Mary. From there on, there are many concerts held around the city, church services and a large open air market which springs up in Piazza Navona. Navity scenes or ‘presepi’ as they are known in Italian, are lovingly displayed for the public to admire, each lovingly crafted and made from local materials with the addition of some more modern public figures.

Midnight mass on 24th December or Christmas morning service at the Vatican is a must do for many tourists. From Christmas leading up to New Years, is usually a frenzy of activity in clothing stores as women and men try to find that perfect outfit for New Years. There are numerous private parties held around the city but also numerous public functions and concerts to ring in the start of the New Year.
