Watch La Dolce Vita

The 50,000-seat amphitheatre where Rome staged its bloodiest spectacles for 2,000 years

One trip is never enough — come back for the churches, the neighbourhoods and the food you missed

A Roman socialite turns 65 and looks past the parties; Sorrentino's La Dolce Vita.

Three ingredients, total magic — pasta, pecorino and black pepper emulsified into a glossy Roman sauce

Eggs, pecorino, black pepper and crisp guanciale — and absolutely no cream

Toss a coin over your shoulder into Rome’s baroque masterpiece to guarantee your return
