Where you'll be
Rome is a vibrant crossroads of culture and people. This is most evident in the area of Esquilino, which is home to a diverse population, artists, and the most international market in Rome, housing vendors and products from all over the world. We will spend our time in our studio, and then afterward walk through Piazza Vittorio and explore the market to find the perfect fabric to make your garment. We will also visit a historic Roman button shop.
