Dear Francesco fanatics and pizza populists:
I was in Rome again in January for various reasons: Diane Pernet's fashion film festival. AltaRoma fashion week, to write a story about the Hotel Locarno and to visit friends. Here is a roundup of all my stories:
1. A Shaded View on Fashion Film premiere at Hadrian's Temple
2. Ludovica Amati's fashion show in the ancient ruins beneath the Piazza Navona
3. Pope Francis' address in St. Peter's Square
4. My stay at the Marriott Grand Hotel Flora & Room Service fashion presentation
5. My stay at the splendid Hotel Locarno, an Art-Nouveau gem with fascinating bohemian history
6. Opening cocktail for the Hans Feurer photo exhibit at a show-stopping 17th-century palace
7. Sarli Couture and Arthur Arbesser catwalk shows at Santo Spirito
8. The Rome Academy of Costume & Fashion show
10. Quattromani catwalk at Santo Spirito
