❤️🇮🇹🍴 The Story of the Supplì: Rome’s Most Famous Street Food 🍚

Did you know that the name "supplì" comes from the French 🇫🇷 word surprise? According to legend, during the early 1800s, when Napoleon's army occupied Rome, a French soldier bit into this fried rice ball and exclaimed, "Surprise!" upon discovering the melted mozzarella inside. Since then, the name stuck, and the supplì became one of the city’s most beloved street foods! 🇮🇹

However, the origins of the supplì go back even further. Some say that this Roman delicacy is inspired by Arab cuisine, particularly the method of frying rice, which was introduced during the medieval period. Over time, Roman creativity and local ingredients like mozzarella transformed it into the tasty treat we know today.

The first recorded recipe for supplì appeared at the 🧑‍🍳Trattoria della Lepre 👩‍🍳, which was located at Via Condotti n. 11, where the💍 Bulgari store 🇮🇹 now stands. Supplì became so popular that even literary giants like James Joyce and Herman Melville were said to be fond of this Roman specialty during their time in the city!

❤️❤️❤️ You can find supplì in almost every Roman pizzeria and street-side rosticceria. What’s your favorite place to get a supplì in Rome? Let us know in the comments! ❤️❤️❤️ ⬇️

❤️ 🇮🇹 Fourth Stop: The Iconic Trevi Fountain 💦

Our next stop is one of the most visited and photographed monuments in the world: Fontana di Trevi. This magnificent fountain was made famous by Federico Fellini’s film 🎥 La Dolce Vita, and it continues to captivate visitors from around the globe.

Did you know that the Trevi Fountain is still fed by the ancient 💦 Acqua Vergine aqueduct, which was inaugurated in 19 BC and stretches over 20 kilometers? This aqueduct has supplied fresh water to Rome for centuries and continues to power the stunning display of cascading waters in this Baroque masterpiece.

The fountain was designed by Nicola Salvi and completed in 1762 by Giuseppe Pannini, who added the finishing touches. The central figure is Oceanus, the god of water, surrounded by allegorical statues and beautiful sculpted elements, symbolizing abundance and good health.

🧐 Curiosity: Have you ever noticed the curious travertine vase located on the outer parapet of the fountain?
