Overview

Since moving to Rome I have been inspired by the city’s history, symbols and everyday impressions. To capture that inspiration I created a series of charm sketches that reflect my personal connection to Rome and its character, envisioned as a natural addition to the Paolina Roma charm collection.

The charms

Carciofo alla Romana — the artichoke is one of my favourite dishes, and nowhere is it prepared as perfectly as in Rome. The charm reflects the city’s culinary heritage.

Obelisk of Piazza del Popolo — a symbolic marker, and one of the sights that anchors the city for me. Further pieces follow the same logic: Roman symbols and daily life turned into small objects.

Creatività eterna nella città eterna

Rome is the Eternal City, and just as its history and beauty are endless, so are the creative ideas it keeps sparking. These sketches are only a beginning — a reflection of how living in Rome fuels my imagination with limitless possibilities.
