TIVOLI

Rome offers so much to do and see, but it’s worth heading to the nearby town of Tivoli for a grand day out. Less than an hour east of Rome, Tivoli is home to two stunning attractions listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. Hadrian’s Villa (Villa Adriana in Italian) is actually not a villa but the architectural ruins of what used to be Emperor Hadrian’s compound almost 2,000 years ago. You can stroll at your leisure around acres of crumbling buildings, statuary and grottos in the fresh pine air. A 10-minute drive away is Villa D’Este, a gorgeous Renaissance villa with a magnificent terraced garden and spectacular manmade waterfalls. For lunch in Tivoli, do not miss Ristorante Sibilla. There’s indoor seating in several handsome dining rooms and plenty of outdoor seating beside the ruins of an ancient Roman temple. The food is traditional Roman cuisine at its best and well worth the trip.

Yes, it’s definitely worth the schlep to this welcoming 19th-century boulangerie. Christophe Vasseur’s breads and pastries are everything you dream of when you dream of the breads and pastries of Paris. It’s hard not to finish his famous pain des amis (friendship bread) before you leave the shop and for a little snack, he offers small breads filled with cheese and spinach or ham or other enticing offerings. If you are there in the fall and the counter is lined with his incredible not too sweet fig tarts, we dare you to resist.

Noted actor David Haig will star in this revival of Alan Bennett’s The Madness of George III. In spite of a catalogue of accomplishments – he founded the Royal Academy of Arts, was a passionate advocate of science, literature and music and fathered fifteen children – George III is best remembered today for his bouts of unbridled lunacy. Subjected to the appallingly cruel medical treatment of the day and assailed by power struggles between politicians and his scheming son, George remains throughout an intensely sympathetic character – melancholy, moving, witty…and finally triumphant.
