After a lot of months in Rome, some people talked about "The secret of Rome", a place that is very close to the Metro Station Circo Massimo and is actually a door with a hole that you look through.
In piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta

it is located the door that a lot of tourists make a line in order to have a glance through the hole. Or "Il buco di Roma", in italian.
So what is seen through the hole?
Well, everybody keeps the secret and try not to say until you look through, therefore I am not going to reveal the secret either!!

Rome's secret #1 "Nasone"
Soon after I arrived in Rome, I noticed all these small fountains around Rome that provide water for free to Rome visitors and citizens.
In italian they are called "Nasone", meaning big nose as the metallic form that provides the water a lot of times looks like a big nose..!
You can find online also a map of the nasone in Rome (but normally you don't have a problem to find them they around almost around every corner). The water is very fresh and is said to be one of the cleanest in Rome!
