Joie Davidow, the local author who co-founded LA Weekly and the no-longer-with-us LA Style, recently acquired an apartment in Rome and gloats about it in the new Metropolitan Home.
In Rome there is always time for a coffee, for a chat, for a laugh. I work better in Rome because the pace gives me room to think creatively...so I keep coming back, like a woman addicted to love....
The apartment I bought is in Trastevere, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Rome or, for that matter, in the world...I could hardly believe that the magnificent Piazza Santa Maria was only a few steps from my door, or that by walking a few steps in the opposite direction, I could be crossing the Ponte Garibaldi, watching gulls follow the Tiber upstream, the great dome of St. Peter to my left, to my right the dome of the central synagogue.
Her latest book is Marked for Life: A Memoir.
