Vermeer exhibition host a retrospective of the work of Johannes Vermeer, the greatest Dutch painter of the 17th century, whose art is unfortunately not represented in any Italian collection.

Rome in December is wonderful for kids as Christmas approaches. There are several Christmas events that are not to be missed, particularly when visiting Rome with children. 

Lots of small markets can be found throughout Rome at Christmas time. However, by far the largest and most popular is the Navona Christmas market…  we traditionally bring our children there, and they love it. Kids can meet Santa Claus, see nativity scenes and browse the many stalls for Christmas goodies in the enchanting atmosphere of one of Rome’s most beautiful squares.
