We happened across this beautiful store after dinner and we’re thrilled to find it. Adrius took care and time to explain the sun dial he had made to my son and created a truly special memory for him. He purchased it with his Christmas money and has something timeless he will keep forever. Thank you.

I happened upon this place by accident while wandering around the northern corner of Trastevere. The window caught my eye— partially hidden by ivy, it was full of intricate little devices and works of art. I’m so glad I let whimsy take me inside: it’s everything you could hope for in a secluded little curio shop in Rome. The artist, who I understand makes everything inside, is wonderful, too. I hope to return very soon.

I've visited Rome twice in the past couple of years, and this store is one I've visited three times over the two visits. It's so small and intricate, the items so detailed and lovely. Both of my children love their compasses and kaleidoscopes. These are hand-made gifts that will be family treasures. The staff is also wonderful. The artist is so kind and wonderful. I tried to speak my broken Italian to both him and his daughter, and they were sweet and helped me communicate. They hand-wrapped my gifts to make them even more special. Just a stunner of a shop.
