From our room with a view
Largo di Torre Argentina
We recently had the good fortune to spend three days in Rome staying in a delightful suite overlooking the ruins in Largo di Torre Argentina.
How did I score three days in Rome? Well, Italy happened to be playing Ireland at Rugby in the old Olympic Stadium.
I would probably have been bored to tears had Italy not won!
The highlight of the trip (for me) was discovering a wonderful little kosher restaurant in the old Ghetto where I finally saw how to prepare Carciofi alla Romana. The fridge is now full of globe artichokes.

Carciofi...mmm.The monsoon proved too much for my poor plants. :-(
But a weekend in Rome? Lovely.
Nice lights on your trees, by the way.
I absolutely love your trees Robyn!
Jealous, jealous and more jealous! I love Largo Argentina! My first time in Rome we stayed at the Hotel Tiziano, right around the corner from it. I love that neighborhood. And any kosher restaurant in the Ghetto...best carciofi hands down!
Lovely sketches of Rome. I particularly remember the view of the top one. Longing to go to Rome again.
Like Chelsea, I'm jealous! I love your sketches - very nice!
Fabulous sketches and I love the pelican in your previous post too.
I've just been wandering around in your blog; love your work
Am not an expert, but I thought your sketches in Rome look lovely. They have a certain style I can’t quite describe… a focus perhaps on just the trees? Anyway I do think they’re good.
