Pink Tutu Rome: Post #408 - Romancing the Colosseum!

Buongiorno, my dearest tutu-loving lovelies! It's Emma here, back from the Eternal City of Rome with tales of cobblestone streets, glorious gelato, and, of course, my Pink Tutu adventures! This week's post is extra special, because you guessed it – I'm in Italy! The excitement of finally touching down in Rome after my train journey from Derbyshire, a delicious whirlwind of pasta and prosecco, has filled my days with the sort of Italian joie de vivre that makes you want to pirouette down the Via Condotti.

For those of you just joining me on my pink journey, every Wednesday, I bring you all the fabulousness of a different city. From Derbyshire to Milan, I've worn my pink tutu across Europe, spreading a little bit of tutus-and-tights-happiness everywhere I go! This week, Rome plays host to my pink delights. So let’s step into the heart of it all, shall we?

Train travel: A Tutu-ly Lovely Journey

The train ride down from Derbyshire was simply divine. It always feels a bit like stepping into a whimsical storybook, all plush seats, views flitting by, and my trusty Pink Tutu nestled in my carry-on bag (a fellow traveller, you see, not just a garment!).

Now, Rome is a city of layers, much like a perfectly layered ballerina skirt. First impressions are of ancient history – imposing, awe-inspiring buildings that feel like whispers from another time. Then, you peel back those layers, and you find charming trattorias brimming with laughter and delicious smells, trendy boutiques with exquisite designs, and a lively culture that bursts with personality.

Pink Tutu in the Piazza:

And who better to explore this vibrant city than a pink tutu-clad ballerina? I can already feel the Italian sun warming my cheeks as I imagine myself swirling around the Piazza Navona, my tutu catching the light like a thousand tiny stars. Imagine: cobblestone streets, gelato melting on my tongue, and the infectious sound of laughter echoing through the ancient Roman architecture.

Exploring the Colosseum: A Piece of History in Pink

Rome, of course, is famous for its ancient history, so I'm absolutely going to be braving the throngs at the Colosseum (a spectacle in itself!) to get my Pink Tutu in a shot with one of the wonders of the world! It’s almost poetic to think of how many stories this iconic building has seen, and how it silently stands, a sentinel of centuries past, guarding the heartbeat of Rome.

Fashionistas & Italian Style: A Perfect Blend

Let's be honest, Rome isn't just about history - it's about the unparalleled sense of style. Imagine me, browsing through vintage shops, finding those perfect pieces that whisper vintage glamour and Italian elegance. The city, it seems, oozes a certain savoir-faire, and I can’t wait to soak it up.

Opera Under the Stars: A Symphony of Glamour

Of course, no trip to Italy would be complete without experiencing the magic of opera. Tonight, I’m seeing ‘Rigoletto’ at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma! Oh, to be transported into a world of love, betrayal, and magnificent music! As for me, my tutu's getting a glam makeover for the occasion!

Rome in Pink: A Tutu-ly Inspired Blog Post

As the week goes on, expect more stories from the heart of Rome - pictures of delicious pasta, beautiful boulevards, and of course, more pictures of me in my pink tutu (I’ll try to include some with iconic Rome landmarks!)

Remember, everyone, let your inner tutu blossom – life’s too short for ordinary clothes, don't you agree? And when you find yourself wearing pink and twirling with joy, remember that your own, unique and radiant self is an inspiring sight!

Arrivederci! See you next Wednesday for a brand new Pink Tutu adventure. And remember, don't forget to check out www.pink-tutu.com for all my latest blogs and inspiration!

With love and tutus,

Emma
