Rome is one of those cities that can feel almost too familiar before you arrive. The Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and Vatican have been photographed so many times that it is easy to wonder what could possibly be left to discover. Quite a lot, actually. The secret to enjoying Rome is not avoiding its famous sights, but knowing when to see them, where to stay and when to turn down a quieter street and let the city reveal itself.

Floriography, the language of flowers, became a formalized art in 19th-century Victorian England, allowing individuals to send coded messages through specific botanical choices.

Whether a breach is considered material under Florida law depends on the language of the contract and the circumstances surrounding the dispute. Courts generally look at whether one party failed to perform an obligation that was fundamental to the agreement rather than a minor contractual requirement. Every contract is different, so the analysis is rarely as simple as identifying a missed deadline or an isolated mistake. Material terms often relate to payment, delivery, perfo

There are few universal pleasures quite like sharing a good glass of wine. It brings people together, slows the moment down, and turns an ordinary evening into something worth savoring. And did you know that back in 1822 in Paris, French merchant Louis Nicolas revolutionized the industry by selling quality wines in individual bottles rather than traditional barrels? This simple and clever convenience laid the groundwork for the modern wine shop that we are all accustomed to.

The tradition of private high jewelry appointments dates back to 1893, when Frédéric Boucheron opened his salon at 26 Place Vendôme in Paris.

Manicures have evolved into a form of beauty and self-expression. The tradition dates back thousands of years, with ancient Egyptians using henna to color their nails and fingertips.

Bonaire feels different from the moment you arrive. Many Miami travelers may not know much about Bonaire, but this relatively under-the-radar Caribbean island quickly proves that its low profile is part of its appeal.

A quick google brings up countless recipes incorporating matcha, both sweet and savoury. Rawpixel.com/Shutterstock Retailers and cafe owners have suggested the main reaso

Puglia is not a destination I would recommend rushing through. The region rewards a slower approach, where a morning drive through olive groves can be as enjoyable as arriving at a famous town, and a long lunch can easily become the centerpiece of the day. What I like most about Puglia is the contrast. There are elegant Baroque cities, tiny villages, historic palazzi, ancient masserie and beautiful coastline, but there is also a simplicity to everyday life here. Olive oil, fr

Rocco Forte Hotels has been on my list of stays for some time, so I welcomed the opportunity to experience one of its flagship properties, Hotel de Russie in Rome.

For several months during the summer of 2022, my dog Scout vomited at 3 a.m. nearly every day. If you have a dog, you know the sound. And each time, she gobbled up her mess before I could get to it, making diagnosis of the cause difficult.The vet and I eventually settled on my hydrangeas as the source of the problem – but keeping Scout away from them didn’t work. She started to seem tired all the time – highly concerning in a typically hyper yellow Lab puppy. Photo by Sander

You probably already know that how you eat before bed affects your sleep. Maybe you’ve found yourself still lying awake at 2 a.m. after enjoying a cup of coffee with dessert. But did you know that your eating choices throughout the day may also affect your sleep at night?

Salads – along with other fresh produce – are some of the healthiest foods you can eat. Leafy greens are rich in vitamins A, C and K, folate, potassium and magnesium. They also contain lots of fiber, which supports a healthy gut microbiome, promotes fullness, helps regulate blood sugar, and may contribute to healthy aging and better cognitive function. Prewashed greens are extremely convenient, but whole heads of lettuce may be less risky during a cyclospora outbreak. CostaPP
