Buongiorno a tutti!
It's been a while since I've seen most of you, so I'm hoping you'll come by the lecture I'm giving at the Italian Institute of Culture (very official, I know). Many of you have asked me about Roman food, so here's a chance to find out the what, where and why of our most famous dishes. Hint, not for the squeamish: in Roman fashion, there's no shortage of entrails (no gladiators involved).
See you there!
Marco Flavio
