Nella vita di ogni persona accadono delle coincidenze particolari. Questo evento si rivolge a coloro che sono curiosi di conoscere storie di coincidenze affascinanti e spesso miracolose. Avremo a disposizione dei libri che raccolgono decine di storie VERE di coincidenze. Sceglierò per voi le più belle. Tranquilli, nessuna noia: si leggono in tre minuti ciascuna! E le risate sono assicurate. Anche io racconterò le mie esperienze (non a caso ne sono molto appassionato) e daro' alcuni suggerimenti per avere qualche vantaggio. Ogni partecipante se vuole potrà farlo. L 'evento non ha scopo né di lucro né di vendita libri. Di solito possiamo occupare gratuitamente il tavolo della caffetteria; a volte basta consumare un semplice caffè. ( * Può sembrare una iniziativa strana, ma già anni fa il direttore di rai notte Gabriele La Porta raccoglieva le esperienze dei telespettatori, molte delle quali ha poi pubblicato in un libro).

Un modo poetico per scoprire nuove storie, fuori e dentro le pagine. 🧡 Poi ci rilassiamo, chiacchieriamo come vecchie amiche e amici, condividiamo pensieri, consigli di lettura, storie, e molto altro. ✨ **L’evento è aperto a tutte e tutti**. Puoi venire da sola o con qualcuno, ma di sicuro tornerai a casa con una nuova connessione e (forse) un nuovo libro del cuore. Porta un libro e goditi qualche ora offline con noi.

## 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 Once you registered, please RSVP to the event if you are joining and the host will message you to confirm. There is a small fee of 2,50 (half price for two people- special offer) or 5 euros for a solo person to pay once you are on the event. This includes the breakfast, snack and ENTRY to the TREVI FOUNTAIN. BUT THIS ONE IS OPTIONAL and you can still join the walk and buy your own breakfast or entrance to the Trevi fountaintain Once registered, you’ll receive full details, the meeting point, and access to a temporary WhatsApp group for updates and reminders. If you enjoy slow walks, good conversation, and meeting people from around the world, this event is for you
