How Can You Live in Rome Without Gaining Weight Despite Its Tempting Cuisine?

Living in Rome, surrounded by irresistible dishes like pasta, pizza, and gelato, requires a balance of enjoyment and discipline. Staying active is key—walking is a way of life here, and the city’s historical charm makes it a pleasure to explore on foot. Adopting the principles of the Mediterranean diet—focusing on fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats—can help maintain a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, embracing the Italian tradition of la passeggiata—a leisurely evening stroll—can aid digestion while allowing you to soak in the beauty of Rome’s streets.

What Is Your Favourite Place in Rome?

For walking, our favourite part of Rome is the entire historic centre, especially in the early morning at dawn when the city is peaceful and bathed in golden light. We also love the atmospheric streets near Campo de’ Fiori and Trastevere, where hidden alleys reveal the authentic charm of local life.
For residential living, our favourite area is, without a doubt, Monteverde Vecchio—a serene and elegant neighbourhood offering a perfect blend of greenery, history, and a true Roman feel.
