WHEN IN ROME…STYLE YOUR HOME
Our blogger: Marcelo
From February 7th 2009 to the 15th “Casa Idea” will take place in Rome. One way to translate the title of this event would be something like “Ideas for the home”. Italy has a lot to say about design. Its roots and tradition concerning family remain as strong as ever. The space for creativity in Italian life is directly linked to the space they regard as the most important… the space made available for the family.
Spread out over more than 40,000 square metres, this event will house more than 100,000 visitors. Professionals interested in the latest innovations in the market will be able to discover the trends of the market and propose new trends.
Business agents, and also householders in search of solutions, can get fresh and new ideas to give a stylish look to their homes, to change its face or just put a smile on it. Often, a single detail is so important.

Fiera di Roma - North Entrance
How do you get there from Yes Hotel Rome? It’s easy. Take the underground (line B) until the station Magliana and from there the train in the direction of Fiumicino. Stop at Fiera di Roma. So book a room at our hotel where you can ask for further information if necessary.
I had decided to limit myself to spending € 100. I was very surprised with what I bought for that amount. My first stop was Via Nazionale. There are a lot of very reasonably priced clothing stores. One of them was Brooks which has jeans, t-shirts, shirts, jeans, and jackets. The clothes were all reasonably priced the 2 shirts I bought were only 10 euros each. Ok, they weren’t 100 % cotton and I didn’t buy them from a boutique in Via del Corso but they fit really well. Now I needed to get jeans. Unfortunately the sale price ones were only available in absolutely enormous sizes. Not being the biggest guy in the world, I decided to try my luck at Upim.
