ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Thomas Hill
Available for hire
Hey! My name is Tom, a Roman obsessed with his city.
I was born in Rome and grew up here till the age of 12, before moving to the UK and living there for almost 10 years.
I am half Italian (from my mum's side) and half English (dad's side).
I still spent a lot of time in Rome and Italy, visiting all my friends and family multiple times a year.
I've previously worked as a chef for almost 8 years, including 4 of these in a Michelin recognised Italian restaurant.
A few years ago I decided to move back home, as I felt it was the right place for me and where I wanted to be long-term. I now work as a freelance translator.
Ever since I came back, I immersed myself in Rome's culinary delights to expand my already significant food & beverage repertoire.
In addition, I discovered a new passion for Rome's immense and mesmerising art, including churches, museums, viewpoints and much more.
On my page you'll find Rome recommendations of all types, helping you experience my beautiful city to its fullest.
