Sadly though there were no Italian pop stars hanging around the Trevy Fountain :( The food on our first day was also amazing, while I usually try to eat somewhat healthy when I travel I pretty much threw that all away for this weekend (when in Rome do as the Romans do), so for the whole weekend it ...
