As the concept of two brothers who had a deep passion for wine and food as a whole, BARRED was created to create a space for others to enjoy their passion. 

Atop the Celio Hill is this impressive, fortified church with some lovely 13th-century frescoes and a delightful hidden cloister. Ring the bell before entering and the large wooden door will be opened onto a magnificent courtyard. 

A lovely hidden garden that is a wonderful place to escape the crowds and enjoy a romantic picnic. Make sure to arrive early as it closes at sunset!

Built in 312 BC and named the Queen of Roads by the Romans who used it, the Via Appia runs from the edge of the city outwards through open countryside, its original basalt stones still underfoot. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2024. The preserved section closest to Rome runs for around 16km through the Parco dell'Appia Antica, passing Roman tombs, catacombs and umbrella pines. Most visitors walk the first few kilometres and turn back, but go further, and you'll have it almost entirely to yourself. Wear good trainers, bring water, and go on a Sunday when the road is closed to traffic.
