I'm looking for some interesting gift ideas for my mom who LOVES Rome. Any suggestions? I could do a book or movie about Rome, of course, but I was thinking something more unique!

Maybe you can find something interesting HERE.

Diane Seed has a new book out called The Food Lovers Guide to the Gourmet Secrets of Rome. It's got recipes, restaurant suggestions, and beautiful photos.

But, even better, what about one of these great Rome scarves. I've given them as gifts often and they're always a great hit.

Those scarves/ties are great! My mom isn't much of a scarf wearer, but my dad would appreciate that tie. Maybe I already have a Father's Day gift - thanks!

The Williams Sonoma cookbook - Rome, by Maureen Fant (who sometimes posts here) is wonderful. Lots of recipes for foods that just say ROME to me.

A little more generic is The Silver Spoon which is to italian cooking what Fannie Farmer is to American cooking - or at least its publicity alleges that. I do have to say it is a spectacular cookbook and has supplanted Marcella Hazen in my cookbook library.
