See The Room recommends: Going2Italy - To discover the best of Rome, we checked in with Maria Tuttocuore of Going2Italy. This New York City based operation is a branch of an Italian tour operator with more than 30 years of experience. The local teams in Rome and Milan are masters of their craft and they coordinate tailor-made, bespoke experiences throughout the region. Maria shared her perspective on Rome as a wedding experience: "Rome is layered, atmospheric and naturally cinematic. Weddings here are shaped by the city rather than imposed onto it. The light, the scale and the sense of history all work in your favor."

Maria offered incredible insight into her recommendations for breathtaking locations around the city: "A dinner overlooking the Colosseum at Palazzo Manfredi, a reception at  Villa Miani, or a garden celebration at  Villa Aurelia  all feel immersive without needing excessive production. For something even more spectacular and private, Casina Valadier offers one of the most iconic views over the city, with a setting that is both grand and intimate at the same time. There is a softness and depth to Rome that makes even highly curated events feel emotional and personal."
