Armani Comes to Monti

Giorgio Armani is finishing work on Cavour 220 which will have 62 apartments for sale and come with a host of ammenties; chiefly known as serviced apartments consisting 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) 


But will there be a pizzeria??

High & Low Fall Fashion

     I thought I would check in and see what the kids are wearing this season...when I passed these lovelies in a boutique close to Piazza di Spagna.  These shoes are quite simply..incredible (and so is the price!) and they struck me as more fit to be behind museum glass, but if there is one thing that is important in Italy, it's fashion. I'm not really sure how people keep up with the changing seasons and are able to have the latest "look" (and they use the English word "look" to describe this pursuit..I feel somewhat hip..)..

..but if you are on an English teacher's budget, or basically everyone else but the (cough cough) very "comfortable" you might want to consider other Roman shopping locals apart from famous (infamous) Via dei Condotti.
