ITINERARY : Spanish Steps, Sallustian Obelisk and the revolution of Rome's city planning, Aqua Virgo, Trevi Fountain, Galleria Alberto Sordi, Pantheon Piazza Navona DISTANCE: 1\.87 km \| 1\.16 miDuration: 2 hrs TIP-BASED tour: You pay what you want at the end. If you pay based on your satisfaction, you encourage quality work and discourage substandard work.

## Whatsapp group https://chat.whatsapp.com/EcNvCIJkBYX44Q18qYie01?mode=gi_t Ever wished you could explore Rome while actually meeting people, not just walking past them? This is a **social breakfast and walk hosted by a local**, created for travelers, expats, and anyone curious about experiencing Rome in a relaxed, human way. We meet over breakfast, get to know each other, then wander through the city together, letting conversation and curiosity guide the walk. This is **not a guided tour** and there’s no fixed route. Think of it as exploring Rome with new friends rather than following an itinerary. ### What we'll do * Meet for an Italian breakfast and casual introductions * Take an easy social walk through central Rome ( Piazza del Popolo- Spagna- Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Pantheon and Castel Sant'Angelo) * Pause at a few spots to chat, take photos, and mingle * End near the Vatican City, with the option to continue to lunch together ### What’s included * Breakfast of your choice (drink + pastry) * A small traditional snack during the walk * A relaxed, small-group experience * Hosted in English by a local, with everyone free to speak any language ### Optional tip At the end of the walk, there will be an **optional tip or donation** for the host. This is never expected, but always appreciated if you enjoyed the experience and helps us cover the cost of organizing these walks. ### Important: how to join FREE TO JOIN Once registered, you’ll save your spot and also you can join our Whatsapp group linked above If you enjoy slow walks, good conversation, and meeting people from around the world, this event is for you

Torna il consueto appuntamento del terzo Mercoledì del mese di RomaJS, nella sua struttura di Talk + Pillola: **Reactive Apps without Frameworks** by [Emiliano Pisu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pixu1980) Scopri uno stack applicativo senza framework e senza dipendenze, alimentato dal web del prossimo futuro: un piccolo store basato su signals, rendering DOM‑first e template literal taggati per view espressive e sicure. Esploreremo un observable state core allineato alla proposta TC39 Signals, con uno sguardo al futuro per collegarlo al DOM utilizzando le idee emergenti dei “DOM Parts” per aggiornamenti precisi. Sopra questo livello, costruiremo un motore minimalista basato su template literal che rende JSX quasi superfluo. **Passkey: for a passwordless future** by Matteo Manchi Le passkey introducono un modello di autenticazione passwordless basato su crittografia asimmetrica e standard aperti come WebAuthn e FIDO2. In questo talk esploreremo il funzionamento tecnico delle passkey: dalla generazione della coppia di chiavi alla registrazione presso il relying party, fino al processo di autenticazione tramite challenge-response. Analizzeremo come le passkey mitigano attacchi comuni come phishing, credential stuffing e database breach, e discuteremo le implicazioni per architetture backend, gestione delle identità e user experience. L’obiettivo è fornire una comprensione chiara dei meccanismi sottostanti e delle best practice per l’adozione. *** Questo evento sarà ospitato negli uffici di Sourcesense, in Via del Poggio Laurentino, 9.

Rome traffic can be hectic, so let’s aim to arrive on time to get the most out of the session. 🙂 **09:00 – 10:00** ☕ Informal networking **10:00 – 12:00** 💻 Laptop coworking ### **About the Meet-Up** I’m an independent author and entrepreneur based in Rome, working 100% remotely. My goal is to bring together women who work from a home office to connect, share, and work side by side in a safe and inspiring environment once a month. This gathering is for women freelancers and entrepreneurs—a relaxed, welcoming space to connect, exchange experiences, and recharge outside the home office. During the meet-up, I’ll host a short, informal moment where each participant can: * Share a win or a challenge from this month, or * Briefly introduce their business or project It’s a great opportunity to meet like-minded women, get inspired, find collaborators or clients, and enjoy some focused coworking energy together. If you don’t feel like working, you’re absolutely welcome to simply hang out and connect. The meet-up is free to attend. Since we are kindly hosted by the venue at no mandatory cost, please support them by purchasing a drink or something small.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
