Rome has captivated travellers for centuries, but few know how to unlock the city quite like Emily FitzRoy. As founder of Bellini Travel, she's spent the past 26 years introducing clients to a side of Italy that most visitors never see - from extraordinary private access and under-the-radar experiences to the people and places that make a trip truly unforgettable. It's an expertise that has also seen her work with HBO as the Italian specialist behind The White Lotus and Succession. Here, Emily shares her insider's guide to the Eternal City, with her tips on where to go, when to visit and how to experience Rome beyond the crowds.
