Designer Cathrine Bjerre Bruun

Our designer Cathrine has family in Italy and loves to visit every time she gets a chance.

In her summer postcard she is sharing some of her tips to ‘do like the Romans do’, where to get the freshest Vongole and the best after dinner drink.

Enjoy and Salute!

Beach life

Porto Recanati is a little beach town in the Marché region. 

It’s an old fisherman´s town, so it’s here you’ll find the best fresh Vongole.  

ROME

Rome has more than 600 churches and we love to just pop in and be overwhelmed and cool down for a bit as the locals do.

This is Sant´Ignazio  in the heart of Rome. In some of the churches you’ll find master pieces of Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Raffaello. 

Rome is an outdoor museum from the roman time to the renaissance. Teatro di Marcello is partly preserved and it’s amazing to stroll the city and experience the layers and aesthetic of the different time periods.  

We love to stay central, especially with kids that makes life easier. This time we stayed just at Piazza Navona. In the middle of the piazza is a huge fountain made by Bernini, one of the major baroque sculptors and architects.  

Salotto 42

Salotto 42 is a wonderful place to have a drink after dinner, situated just at Piazza Di Pietra.
