— About me

I live in Rome.
And I love it.

I'm Bertrand. I am happy to call Rome home and I absolutely love sharing my discoveries, my pictures, my tips and knowledge about its art and its history. All the pictures and videos posted on Rome With Bert are from me. On my blog and my socials, I will also share events, art expos or concerts happening in Rome, to keep people posted about what is actually going on when they visit.

I am also a Rome-based entrepreneur who wants to help travellers, families and organisations get the most out of the Eternal city. I speak English and French. I combine local knowledge with genuine care for the people I work with.

From a quick 60-minute trip prep, to coordinating a corporate retreat in Rome, to settling a family into Roman life like I did for mine — I will make it happen. Privately, directly, with care.

— About Rome

"If Paris was the city in which the world's imagination was first able to give form to the idea of modernity, Rome is the place where that same imagination has been able to elaborate its critique."

From the expo Roma nel Mondo at MAXXI

Why this blog ?

Rome is the Eternal City, and I have been happy to call it home for the past year. I moved here with my family from Dakar. I have experience writing about cities, which I’ll explain in more detail below. I absolutely love sharing my discoveries about its art and architecture, but also practical tips, events and maybe even local politics. Rome With Bert is also part of my (legal and Italy-based) business, helping people plan their trip to Rome or their move to Rome.
