12:30 PM - 3:00 PM - Hands-on Pizza and Gelato Class & Lunch
Perfect the art of Italian cuisine under the expert guidance of a seasoned English-speaking chef.  The masterclass commences with
a prosecco toast with snacks, before moving directly on to dessert by creating your very own gelato. Finally, create pizza from scratch, and enjoy the fruits of your labor with a pizza and gelato meal.

​

5:00 PM  - 8:00 PM  - A Trastervere Food Stroll with dinner - Sample all the sumptuous local delicacies the Eternal City has to offer.  Treat yourself to steaming Supplì (fried rice balls oozing creamy mozzarella), bite into Roman Baccàla (fried cod - think English fish and chips but so much better), tuck into some beloved Roman pizza topped with seasonal ingredients, and much, much more.  The tour's highlight is Trastevere: Rome's romantic neighborhood.  Characterized by its worn cobblestone streets and ivy-coated buildings, Trastevere is the most authentic place to try typical Roman food and eat like a local!

Day 3 

​

10:00 AM - 11:30 PM - Fashion Designer Showroom Visit - This exclusive tour encompasses two historic sartorial ateliers that have produced costumes worn for Oscar winning films. Some of the most important and striking outfits from collections of the 1950's are on display and will be able to speak to the artisans who have played an important role in creating the history of Italian Film. 

In September 1962, Piero Farani opened his workshop in the Prati neighborhood, with support from costume designer Danilo Donati.  During the 1960's, Donati worked with Pasolini, Zeffirelli and Fellini; films that made history and in which Donati and Farani revolutionized the traditional roles of costume making, trying new techniques, incorporating unusual materials and simply inventing. During the 1970's the workshop opted for theatre and opera and started to work with the major opera theaters such as the Metropolitan, Covent Garden and the Paris Opera.  Following the passing of Piero Farani in 1997, Luigi Piccolo has taken over the helm of the dressmaking house and veered towards the historical reconstruction of costumes, although he had kept up the tradition of experimenting.
