Via Giulia 100, Rome. It’s a gentle autumn afternoon that feels like spring. Il Mezzanino, a maison de charme located in a historical building dating back to the XVII century in the heart of Rome. Fifty square metres wisely divided and surrounded by ancient walls, only sparse furniture, all vintage, a minimal steel and marble kitchen, elegant home fabrics, small knick knacks from Porta Portese market (when it was still authentic), indie magazines, flowers, a glimpse of San Biagio degli Armeni’s church from the window. And Rome, authentic, noisy, bubbly, that invites you to go out and be part of its great beauty.
