If you want to get to know and discover the Roman world in its funniest and most ironic guise, you can’t miss Rome is more, a shop in the heart of Testaccio where you can find lots of gadtes with exclamations or sayings, all strictly in Roman dialect. Between a “Daje” and a “Se lallero” the creator of this brand, Carolina Venosi, explains to foreigners, but also to all Italians, what it means to be Roman. The shop is full of many useful and particular things, a must have is the cup or key ring saying “E mo che hai sonato canta!”.

The carbonara scented candle is the object that led us to discover this corner of Rome, a hint of pink pepper, palo santo and white musk will bring the pleasant memory of Carbonara to your home. And for all those who Christmas means playing cards until dawn, you can’t miss “Il romano in fiera” and your Christmas will never be the same.
