bright happy yellow 1930's fascist Roman housing block in Monteverde

…this afternoon with a young local resident living in cozy top floor quarters of a 1930’s fascist apartment block (previously cheap working class housing, now expensive sought after real estate my Italian friends envy) which he once shared with his grandmother – is the first in a series of 35 profiles we are doing with five generations of Roman residents to find out what and how they eat, and how they organize their days, lives, families, friends, and homes around food, for my upcoming Roma Mangia Roma book to be released this fall with Nero Publications. (and if in Rome, hold the evening of June 23rd in your calendar for a special related event to be announced soon)
