Why "A Stranger in Roma"
I fell in love with Rome at first sight, but discovering its treasures wasn’t as effortless as I imagined.
Between endless guidebooks and rigid tours, I often felt like a tourist when all I wanted was to live the city lightly, joyfully, and authentically, through its true Romanità.
I dreamed of days that blended hidden corners with timeless shopping, history with laughter, and elegance with ease.
Traveling alone, I also wished I had someone by my side, a stylish friend to share the city with.
That’s why I created A Stranger in Roma: to offer the kind of experience I had once longed for, whether from afar, through my YouTube stories and style sessions online, or in person, during my curated days in Rome and at the designer outlets nearby.
Rome on a silver platter, yet always à la carte.
About me,
I’m Manie, your French-Roman style companion.
I design personalized experiences that let you discover, or rediscover, Rome in a relaxed, stylish, and playful way.
Whether you explore through my YouTube channel, join me for an online style session, or spend a day together in Rome wandering through hidden corners and elegant boutiques, each experience is crafted to make you feel part of the city, and to embrace its effortless elegance.
I speak French, English, and Italian fluently, and I’m also venturing into Japanese (it’s still work in progress, but full of curiosity and charm!).
Because communication, like style, should always feel natural and graceful.
Here, you can book your tailor-made Roman experience, explore my vision of style and lifestyle, and be inspired by the timeless allure of the Eternal City.
Every journey I create, whether online or in person, is infused with simplicity, detail, and a touch of Dolce Vita, for those who seek a personal, chic, and memorable way to live Rome.
My Vision of Rome,
Rome is not the Euro Disney of antiquity.
It’s not a postcard, nor a museum behind glass.
It’s a living palimpsest, a city where every stone holds a memory, where art and history intertwine with laughter, chaos, and beauty.
For me, Rome is not just a destination but a state of mind, an attitude, a rhythm, a form of elegance that reveals itself in gestures, voices, and light.
To discover Rome is not to visit it.
It’s to let yourself be absorbed,
to accept that little by little, the city changes you,
until you become, in some subtle way… Roman.
My Vision of Style,
Style isn’t about perfection, it’s about feeling confident, at ease, and true to yourself.
With A Stranger in Roma, every experience is tailored to reveal your best self.
From a simple guidance in choosing boutiques or arranging appointments, to full style advice and the creation of a complete vision, the journey is entirely yours.
Through timeless, wearable selections, I help you shape a style that feels natural, chic, and uniquely yours, always elegant, always effortless, like Rome itself.
Turning Your Style Dreams into
Dolce Vita Days
Living a style experience in Rome means stepping into a true art of living.
I will guide You through carefully selected addresses, discreet ateliers, designer boutiques, elegant cafés, punctuating each moment with refined, delicious pauses: a gelato on a sunlit piazza, a perfectly strong espresso, or a plate of pasta in a chic yet relaxed trattoria.
Whether You wish to find a unique piece, build an essential wardrobe, or simply rediscover Your personal style, each journey is tailored exclusively for You.
Between culture, elegance, and life’s simple pleasures, You will discover the city like a true Roman, following the rhythm of the Dolce Vita.
Behind the lens,
Sometimes I film alone, sometimes with friends who just happen to walk by.
Rome collaborates in every frame
A note to you,
If you found me here, it means you, too, look for beauty.
Welcome to the club, it meets daily on Rome’s streets.
Manie
