Ciao bellas!
This is your Pink Tutu Rome gal, Emma, reporting live from the Eternal City itself! It's a whole new level of excitement for your favourite pink tutu-clad adventurer. Imagine a whole city brimming with history, beauty, art and, of course, fabulous food. Now imagine you get to wear a fluffy pink tutu in all that glorious setting. Cue the happy twirls and a dusting of magical fairy dust!
As you know, my lovely readers, my travel adventures are fuelled by the passion for ballet and the sparkle of performance. I funded this trip with a fabulous run of shows in Derbyshire. There's nothing quite like the feeling of being on stage, hearing that thunderous applause, knowing you've just transported the audience to a magical place. And then? The train ride! The rhythmic hum of the tracks, the fleeting glimpses of the countrysideā¦ all this is pure, pure magic for your Tutu-ista!
And so, after the thrill of performance, I found myself in a world of ancient monuments, bustling piazzas and stunning art ā a ballerinaās dream! Today, I was whisked back to a time of gladiators, emperors and grand Colosseum. Talk about impressive architecture! Even in my pink tutu, I felt like a tiny, dancing, pink-hued blip amidst the ancient stone, the history of Rome breathing down my neck!
Of course, no trip to Italy is complete without shopping! Itās a known fact that Italy has some of the finest fashion in the world. But here's a little Pink Tutu tip: even with a pink tutu budget, you can find an absolute treasure trove of stunning fabrics, amazing lace and accessories to embellish any tutu. I may have overdone it a littleā¦ but just a little! š
Rome also has some amazing ballet and theatrical performances. This evening, Iām off to see an operetta. I love operettas ā theyāre the perfect blend of story, singing and spectacle, a real feast for the senses! I bet they have a costume or two that will spark some ideas for my next tutu design. Oh, to be able to waltz through the Italian streets with the magic of a tutu around me!
Speaking of magic, my trip here just wouldnāt be complete without sharing with you some little pink tutu snippets of the most incredible places in this city.
For all my fellow Pink Tutu fans, this is my recommended āPink Tutu Must Do Listā in Rome: * * *Roman Forum and the Colosseum: A truly breathtaking spectacle of history and a must-do for any traveller.
Vatican City: A majestic treasure trove of art and history, it's the smallest country in the world and a place thatās full of wonder.
Pantheon: This incredible ancient temple has been around for ages and is a true architectural masterpiece.
Trevi Fountain: Itās more than just a fountain; it's a romantic landmark and a symbol of eternal love.
Shopping: Now, this is my favourite thing! Italian fabrics and fashion are just heavenly, even if it is a bit too easy to overdo it!
And, last but not least... * Enjoy some delicious Italian cuisine: Forget everything you thought you knew about pizza. Authentic Italian pizza, from the right ingredients, is a true experience. But donāt stop there - enjoy all the amazing pasta dishes, freshly caught seafood and local gelato too.
There you have it, my dearies! It's been another magical adventure, and as always, Iāll be sure to share all the fabulous details of this fabulous Italian getaway in future posts. So stay tuned!
