Get Outta Town - Rome

While in Rome, Joe’s aim is to learn about Italian fashion.

But first, he’s off to meet his co-host, Lucilla. Joe buys some bread and fruit at the Campo de Fiori Market and tries to learn some basic Italian before heading to Lucilla’s house for breakfast.

Feeling a little full, Joe and Lucilla run up the Spanish Steps for exercise, then walk to the Trevi Fountain to throw the traditional three coins in. In a luxury store on Via Condotti, Joe gets a preview of Italian haute couture before he and Lucilla learn to make Italian gelato at the Cremeria Monteforte.

Now it’s time to get down to business. Joe accompanies Lucilla to a fashion design class at the School of Design and, later, they have their pictures taken at the famous Colosseum with a character who’s really dressed to the nines – a gladiator! Joe marvels at an equally impressive building – the Pantheon – over dinner at Piazza della Rotonda. Finally, Lucilla takes Joe on a hot-air balloon ride, to see Rome by night all lit up.
