ProZ.com powwow: Meeting to visit the wonderful Rome
October 27, 2007, 8:30 pm
ItalyRomeIn personItalian
A wonderful weekend in Rome.
On Saturday, dinner in Trastevere, 8.30 / 9.00 p.m.
On Sunday, we could have a walk in Rome or you could come to my house for a drink in the afternoon. We could also take the Tram Bus Open organised by the Municipality of Rome.
Hi all! Hi Emanuela, thanks for the invitation, I'd looove to come, but I'm not sure yet (I'll probably be in Milan working...); it would be great (btw, 8/9 is my birthday!!); can I bring my husband or a friend?
Thanks for the invitation Emanuela. Please keep me informed. I'm very interested in attending, but I'll have to confirm closer to the date due to family issues.
Hi Emanuela, thank you so much for the invitation, your excursions sounds so much fun. I am planning to visit my family in Firenze so I will try to come to your party:)
Thanks a lot for the invitation: it would be an opportunity to visit once again a city I lived in for some years... Right now I can't confirm you my presence but I'll do my best!
Mi dispiace veramente tanto ma per motivi di famiglia non potrò partecipare, magari dopo sarebbe stato meglio, per tirarsi su ma pazienza. Ciao a tutti e scusatemi tanto!
Yes!! Why not? I'll put a "maybe", but try to be there. I have no problems to stay in Rome (I have friends), so consider me for the dinner. Not for the guided tour, I know Rome very well... unless you include some place I don't know yet. May take pictures
Ciao Manu, unfortunately I can't make it cos I work in a new place and they are not going to give me any days off!! Hope to see you soon, maybe in Florence?! ;o) Baci
Mi dispiace tanto! Non posso venire. Spero tanto che si possa organizzare un altro powwow presto. ci tenevo a conoscervi. Mi mettero' in contatto con te, Emanuela. Buona Cena! Vi abbraccio. Mon
ciao, scusa il ritardo nella conferma :-) partecipo volentieri alla cena, verremo in due! grazie mille, adele (p.s., 21/10/2007: leggera preferenza per la pizzeria, ma mi adeguo volentieri alla maggioranza!)
Roma barocca: perché non ci incontriamo alle 15, così facciamo le cose con calma, e nell'attesa dell'ora di cena ci prendiamo un aperitivo in qualche localino del centro?

Powwow in Rome
Apr 23, 2007
Dear All,
I would like to organise a powwow in Rome, this time if possible for TWO days, that is from 8th to 9th of September.
The reason is to permit people coming from out of Rome to enjoy this wonderful town in September.
I have planned to organise a guided tour in Rome, for half a day. I think it will be a "promenade".
I'll propose some possibilities, just tell me what you prefer.
I have contacted two travel agencies. The first one is qu... See more
Dear All,
I would like to organise a powwow in Rome, this time if possible for TWO days, that is from 8th to 9th of September.
The reason is to permit people coming from out of Rome to enjoy this wonderful town in September.
I have planned to organise a guided tour in Rome, for half a day. I think it will be a "promenade".
I'll propose some possibilities, just tell me what you prefer.
I have contacted two travel agencies. The first one is quite expensive (from 30 to 50 euro per visit), the other one is less expensive, so we can decide according to programs they are preparing for us.
Here are the solutions:
- Baroque Rome, 33 euro
- Vatican State (difficult to organise, they require the confirmation of people one month before, and an advance), 46 euro
- Medioeval Rome, 31 euro
- Bus tour Imperial Rome, 33 euro
- Christian Rome, 41 euro
- Classic Rome, 33.50 euro
other solutions will be offered to me by a friend of mine, and they cost maximum 15 euro.
We will decide.
Just tell me what do you think about it.
This could be done in the afternoon, so that people have the time to come to Rome in the morning.
Dinner could be done in Trastevere as usual, Piazza in Piscinula, La Pizzeria "il Comparone" (note it's not the restaurant, it is too expensive).
The owner, as usual, is a friend of mine, so we can have a good price (normally not more than 30 euro).
Parking is available.
So I am waiting for your comments, if you want to propose something else, for me it's ok.
The following day could be spent somewhere else, even in my house. I have a wonderful garden and we could spend some time having a cocktail and just talking.
About hotels, there are many near my house which are not expensive (maximum 70 euro).
I would like to organise something NOT expensive at all, so that many people can come.

Well...
Apr 24, 2007
I am glad to see that people would like to come.
Remember that you can decide EVEN at the last minute, I'll try to organise guided tours with no need to pay in advance, so that you can be free to decide even on the 7th.
Powwows are a chance to meet each other, to create teams (why not?), to exchange ideas and experience, in a word, to share.
I would like to say that THIS POWWOW WILL NOT BE EXPENSIVE.
Personally I have huge problems in having my money ... See more

Personally I have huge problems in having my money when I work.
They say they will pay in a month and I wait two or three months...
How many times I would have liked to participate in other Powwows, like that of Milan (but I will not miss the next one!!!)!
So, remember that:
- I'll try to organise a NON-EXPENSIVE guided tour, maximum 15 - 20 euro
- Dinner will not exceed 30 euro per person
- On Sunday we could spend the afternoon in my terrace, I'll organise drinks or go to the sea
- I found very cheap hotels, even at 50 euro per person, and they are good
So your stay in Rome will be cheap and you will have time to visit Rome on Saturday and Sunday mornings...
