Giorgio Armani is finishing work on Cavour 220 which will have 62 apartments for sale and come with a host of ammenties; chiefly known asserviced apartmentsconsisting of: ...un personal concierge che può risolvere, su richiesta del cliente, 24 ore su 24, ogni tipo di problema: dalla necessità di una baby sitter, al biglietto del teatro, dalla riparazione del tubo rotto, fino alla prenotazione di un volo". Progetto Cavour ...a personal concierge that can solve, at the request of the client, 24 hours a day, any type of problem: from the necessity of a baby sitter, to theatre tickets, to repairing a broken pipe, up to the booking of a flight.. I hope this won't cause rents to rise at all...umpf!! But this might be the price we have to pay for "Tradition and modernity, eternal ruin in a block of pulsing vitality, immobility and dynamism. Beauty." (Giorgio Armani)
I lived in Rome for three years and, after painstaking research, involving grueling gelato crawls & 3-hour trattoria marathons, I've added some of my favorite spots to visit in the city. I'll be updating the blog periodically on return trips & welcome any traveler feedback or comments, grazie.
