The green awning of Ciampini Roma, that elegant fixture of Roman aperitivo culture since 1953, extends beyond its Piazza di Spagna address this November. The house collaborates with Lumen at St. Regis Rome to stage Arte di Vivere, a three evening immersion in the ritual that defines the golden hour across the city.
From November 10 to 12, between 5:30 and 8:00 PM, guests will experience the particular alchemy that Ciampini brings to the aperitivo tradition. The bar’s distinctive approach to Italian hospitality meets the refined setting of Lumen, creating a dialogue between two Roman icons separated by geography but united by a shared commitment to the art of living well.
Ciampini’s character rests on its mastery of the moment: the precise calibration of light, company and refreshment that transforms an ordinary evening into something worth remembering. Lumen, nestled within the historic St. Regis Rome, brings architectural refinement and impeccable service to that vision. The collaboration allows both houses to celebrate what the Italians understand instinctively: that aperitivo is never merely about the drink, but about the pause itself, the transition from day to night, work to pleasure.
The evenings run from 5:30 to 8:00 PM across the three days, offering those who know Rome’s rhythms and those discovering them for the first time the chance to witness how two custodians of Roman taste practice their craft together.
