About
An editorial desk that curates a city.
Roma Project is a small editorial desk. Not an agency, not a brand: a group of curators that puts Rome on the page — one season at a time — for a few guests.
We met in a courtyard behind Campo de' Fiori, talking about the same frustration: our foreign friends came back from Rome with the feeling they had seen a postcard. We wanted another page.
“Care is an editorial stance. Deciding what is worth seeing, and at what pace.”
The desk is small: a dozen permanent collaborators — cooks, historians, photographers, residents — plus a network of places that open their door for us outside official hours. Each is a byline of the issue.
We work by appointment only. A few editions a year, each designed by hand. It is the only way we know to stay honest: we don't chase numbers, we chase stays kept on a shelf — the way a good magazine is kept.
Values
What we don't compromise on
Slowness
Better three things seen well than ten skimmed.
People
Every experience has a name and a face — not a script.
Honesty
We tell you what isn't worth it. Especially if it's famous.
Discretion
No crowds, no flags. Rome is full enough already.
Mood
What we see, when we look
