We’re in no hurry to have a family and kids before we’re 35.
At the same time, a family is above importance for everyone.
9 out of 10 our men are mummy's boys.
Women can make a scene where none exists.
We are true art lovers.
We adore our city
since it is the earth's most magnificent place.
Each Sunday we go to the church.
Same time, It wouldn't stop you from attending a party.
We only live once, 
so we are trying to have some fun out of life.
You are very welcome to Rome.

The Life of Others
Zhanna Badoeva
Rome's been through not just a whole lot of dictators, gladiators, and artists,
architects,
film-makers, 
but simple doctors,
teachers,
students, flower sellers, and garbagemen as well.
Right now, 
I am above to tell you
what it's like for them to live 
in one of the biggest and the most magnificent cities in the world.
I could be born into the family of Julia and Matteo.

Russian: 
I would attend then the school of the world-famous Maria Montessori.
When grew up, I'd enter the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas.
Or perhaps I would be the daughter
of the famous sculptor Oliviero Reynaldi.
I would be a fan of art,
and on weekends I'd turn to visit St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City
to get some inspiration.
But it is likely that I could have been born into Pupo's family.
He’s everyone’s favorite Italian singer.
I would sing with my father his songs to the guitar
And drive around the streets of Rome on my bike.
It doesn't matter if I were a chilf of a celebrity or an office worker,
my parents would dream 
of giving birth to me
in the very same place.
Antonio Ragusa, Director of Medicine
Fatebenefratelli Hospital is located in Old City.

but it still has many other benefits.
since it is public.
So it means,
in the case of insurance, 
baby delivery will cost you nothing.
 
But it's not without its downside.
Stephanie Balsi, obstetrician-gynecologist
Women who give birth can come to the hospital even for five times a day during labor.
And as many times to go back home.
Because we can only register patients who are already in labor.
Since there are many people willing to give birth here,
and the emergency rooms are swamped with patients.
Eloise Formisano, woman in labur
I used to spend big money on taxi service before I gave birth.
It's not allowed here to call for an ambulance in such a case.
And I wasn't in good humor to drive by myself.
After giving birth Roman women don’t stay home too long on maternity leave.
Within three months only,
they already let their baby attend a kindergarten, 
and return back to work.
Thanks God, private kindergartens
 admit children from the age of 3 months.

Russian: 
There's the law in Rome
which tells that children from 3 months old cannot sleep in a crib.
Since
the kindergarten teacher should easily see 
what the child is doing on the floor,
when she plays with the other kids,
and it would be impossible to see the one in the crib.
So she can easily check a three-months-old cutie
lying right there on a mattress.
If he wants to crawl away, she will put him back.
Just look!
Daniella Gianesini, Director of the kindergarten
Private kindergartens have a number of advantages.
A lot of public kindergartens work from 8 am till 4 pm,
and our time-table
starts at 7 am, and ends at 7 pm.
In public kindergartens, food is ordered from suppliers, 
and here everything comes fresh out of the oven.
Today kids will have some pasta and fish for lunch,
and... some carrots, right!
Sorry, but at the moment 
I recalled it when I by myself used to eat it in my childhood.

Do kids love it?
They adore it, Zhanna! And I can tell you the same about carrots!
They really enjoy it!
Edith Orozco, chef
Lucky they are!
Since childhood, they are taught to love tasty food,
thus, 
I’ll bet you about the carrots.
Julia Bo Vignollet, marketer
Well, I guess the only one demerit of private kindergartens is its cost. 
One should pay around 700-800 euros per month for the kindergarten located in the city center.
And for the rest, one would pay around 400 euros.
But we agree to that, too.
Because of the high demand, the public gardens are out of the question.
You might think that it's too expensive,
but let me explain it to you.
Well, it's about the rent.
There only a few places around available.
We are renting the former gardener’s house at the 19th-century palace.
And we pay 12,000 euros per month.

Add to this amount the salaries, food costs, and taxes.
So here it comes to 800 euros per kid.
The fact that such a kindergarten can be just a few steps away 
from the Colosseum is very encouraging.
Or be on the next street with the Trevi Fountain.
So when grabbing your baby back home
you can daily adore 
this beauties around you.
The truth is, you have to get through hundreds of tourists.
All the tourists
visiting this place
are always throwing coins inside it.
And three times a week people gather them all.
How they do it, and how much they collect here...
let me tell you right now.
But first, I'd throw a coin by myself.
During each cleaning, we take up to 450 kg of coins from the fountain.

We send them straight to Caritas.
We collect euro cents in one bag and foreign coins in another.
Later we also change them to euros.
In a year we get up to 1 million - 1.2 million euros from the fountain.
Every time when the cleaning is over,
people get around the fountain,
and tremendously wait 
until it starts working again.
And today, I have the honor to perform this mission.
I’m going to the Saints' Shrine now.
This is where the fountain launches on.
While all the rest are still waiting,
I will get it, and press the button
to make it working.
I am not crazy, just happy to make it.
So it's time now for me to press the very button.
All right,  am so excited now!
At least I'd have a story to tell my grandkids.

Sometimes I don’t have the patience for these crowds of tourists...
they are everywhere...
Dadia Manolla, a tutor in the kindergarten
I'm happy for Rome being that popular among travelers.
Thus, it seems sometimes that tourists have already owned, and not we, the locals.
Massimo de Filippis, a guide
Well, I won't complain here, since I'm making good money on it.

It was Sorrentino who directed the atmospheric series "The Young Pope" with Jude Law.

An average tour guide gets from 10, 000 and up to 30,000 euros per year.
Before one starts making around 2500 euros per month,
Guides have to work hard.
For conducting excursions, a tour guide should get the License,

Sometimes it's even more difficult than getting a diploma from the university.

An exam takes place once in a couple of years, and it costs 300 euros.
Not many can take it from the first time,
as you have to answer 45 questions out of 60 perfectly.
After that, you have to take an oral exam.
To improve his knowledge of the centuries-old history of Rome
one can attend special courses.

Do you both work and carry about the kids?
Until the age of 40, 
Men live for themselves and they all want to be irresponsible.

Serving the Lord should not be confused with building a career.
I need to study to better understand what I believe in.
I am here for more knowledge.

I have chosen this path long ago.
I took a vow of celibacy, poverty and obedience.
Why should you study If you don't want to move up the career ladder?
Serving the Lord should not be confused with building a career.
I need to study to better understand what I believe in.
I am here for more knowledge.
I see now.
Roberto Regolli, professor
Among our students, only 30% are secular people.
The others are already connected to the church.

Russian: 
Are you allowed to have family and children in the future?
Since I’m about to become a PhD and won’t be serving in the church, I’m allowed to.
I’ve already taken a vow of celibacy, so I can’t date women and start a family.
God is my choice.
Is that your childhood choice?
Were you born into a religious family?
Or how did you understand that?
How did it happen?
I was born into a regular family.
Until the age of 18, I did not even think to connect my life with the church.
But researching the philosophy, I decided to become a priest.
How did your relatives react to it?
They were in shock.
Since they always imagined me being a lawyer,
even more, they wanted to have grandchildren.
I quit law school in my third year and took a vow of celibacy.
The university maintains faculties in theology, canon law, philosophy,
history and cultural heritage of the Church.
Education is paid here.

And it costs 2150 euros per year of study.
Have you ever questioned your choices in the very process of your training?
Have you ever felt anything like that?
maybe I had one moment of weakness,
when my family didn’t accept my choice...
But this is my life, 
I can do whatever I want.
Do you want to be connected to the Vatican?
I used to dream of it, Zhanna.
But now I realize it’s God’s will.
Although the Vatican is just  at a stone's throw from here,
for many of its graduates
it will still remain  "pie in the sky".
Here’s another gorgeous street.
There's a hotel on the right side, 
and a cathedral on the left side.
Actually, there's nothing special in it.
In Rome, it occurs every step of the way.
But the thing is 
that I am in the Vatican.

English: 
The Vatican can’t boast of.
And this is an airport.
And all the rest is available here.
You can find shops here, gas stations, 
canteens, its force armament,
and even a football team.
There are literally hundreds of people
work every day so that the people of Rome and millions of 
tourists could see this beauty
 in a primeval kind.
They’re restoring fragments of ancient mosaics in Saint Peter’s Cathedral.
We manually prepare all the pieces of the mosaic.
Paolo Di Bono, mosaic studio director
It's a very delicate process.
Because you have to break off a small fragment from a colored lubalt.
Sometimes a few hundred is required for one mosaic only.
I haven’t even mentioned the shades yet.
There are hundreds of those here.
Nowadays many celebrities order here mosaics
as a present from Rome for their relatives and friends.
I bet it's a good idea.

Russian: 
My friends ask me to bring them some kind of souvenir from Rome.
How much is it?
This one is from the 19th century, 
and it costs around 50 000 euros.
Around 1000 people live in Vatican City.
The Pope himself lives one step away from here.
And most of the workers come here daily from Rome.
But because I am here 
I couldn't but figure out all the details about the life of office workers here.
Are you having lunch in the Vatican?
Or are you driving to Italy for lunch?
It depends, Zhanna.
There's an awesome canteen here.
The food is tasty, and less expensive here.
How much is a cup of coffee here?
I'll have to pay 1,5 euros in Rome,
then it costs 0,7 cents here.
I've heard that 
one can drive in here only in case 
you have the Vatican license plate.
Do you have it or an Italian one?
I don't have the Vatican license plate, as

the religious local workers only can  have it.
But what's really awesome is the parking place here.
And I can easily drive in here and park my car.
And this is a stroke of big luck in Rome.
You can’t just drive your car downtown.
There's a restricted movement zone in Rome.
It includes the historic center and neighboring areas.
Only residents of these areas,
workers and urban service providers are allowed to get inside it.
And all the rest who gets in there will have to pay 80 euros fee.
The situation with other modes of transport is slightly simpler.
My life came in bright colors as soon as I got on my bike.
I have the right to move around 95% of the roads.
Besides, I'm not afraid of the traffic jams, 
The roads of Rome are famous for.
So it's no wonder now, 
that there are so many moped and bike lovers around here.

Russian: 
It's not an easy thing to move around the city center of Rome.
But Rim Taxi 
will give you a ride where 
No entry is allowed for ordinary transport.
Let's go.
Rim Taxi means prestigious class cars,
individual tours,
and Russian-speaking drivers
that are both chaperones and translators.
Even more, you can rent a car or a bike 
for driving autonomously and independently
around the city.
A taxi will provide you with a comfortable and quality rest.
The taxi will take you to where the rest can't get in.
Oliviero Rainaldi, sculptor
My car gathers dust in the garage.
As just I drive it, I get tickets.
That's why I switched to a taxi long ago.
Since it's not an easy thing to park a car in the city center,
I had to pay 20 euros daily for parking.

English: 
It's much more convenient to switch to public transport, 
It costs 1,5 euros only.
Tickets can be purchased at the machines or 
 newsstand facilities and tobacco product vending machines.
But you can't always find the one nearby.
It's not an easy thing to buy a ticket
for public transport in Rome,
if you don't know where to buy it for sure.
But there's a way out!
And these are plastic bags!
If you have the one, you will get the ticket.
A few months ago, the inhabitants of Rome had a unique opportunity to save the planet.
They can recycle plastic bottles in return for free rides on the city's public transport system.
And it is even called  + Recycle + Travel.
Machines at three metro stations in the city exchange one plastic bottle for €0.05 in credit,
making a €1.50 journey worth 30 bottles.

Work in test mode.
Perhaps soon they will appear throughout the city.
We have a very beautiful city and we want to keep it clean.
Fontana Di trevi, the Colosseum & Pantheon is now admired by millions of people.
Not all of the world's architectural monuments were initially admired by people.
The Eiffel Tower in Paris was considered an ugly structure
and asked to demolish it.
And the Sagrada de Familia Cathedral was considered to be complete madness.
There's actually a statue in Rome
that locals couldn't stand.
And in order to somehow make amends for the situation, they even moved it.
But it didn't help.
I don't know why

Now I will visit my friend who created this very statue.
I will ask him how he handles this negativity.
Oh...This rain, these tears!
Oliviero didn’t mean to be upset about it.
He continues to create in his little studio apartment
which is furnished with paintings, installations and miniature copies of his works.
When you get here, you’re immersed in the Roman bohemian atmosphere.
What are you working on now?
What a beautiful woman!
Oliviero Rainaldi, sculptor
Now I'm totally involved in private orders.
I can’t get enough of them.
Rome is a stunning city where Michelangelo and Raphael used to work.

But I’m not trying to outdo anyone.
I’m just making a small contribution to the city.
Your piece of art stands near the station.
I've heard that there were many negative reviews.
How did you react to it?
How did you live with that?
Or maybe you just didn't pay too much attention to it?
I'd rather become upset if no one criticized me.
Criticism is better than indifference.
They also threw stones at the statue of David that Michelangelo created.
But over the years, it all made sense.
His fee now reaches tens of thousands of euros.

never to give up.
Because if you don’t take the risk, you don’t get into the city guide book.
But it’s not appropriate to be a sculptor to get into this guidebook.
One can open one the best night clubs in Rome
and here you go!
Life just starts, when the streets are empty.
The locals can visit a couple of clubs overnight.
Before the baby was born, my husband and I often went to parties in the middle of the week.
And it didn't matter that we had to work the next day.
The nightlife in Rome deserves special attention.
As they rest here, they don't rest anywhere else.

There are even legends about how the Roman bohemia is having fun.
They are having parties on the roofs, museums,
well, anywhere one can afford.
But I'm curious to know
what they actually are busy with
during the daytime.
Work isn't included, of course.
My friend is already 25 years old.
And he still leaves with his parents,
and he will leave with them for another 25 years.
I bet it.
Well, if my dad owns six yachts like this one,
I'd live together with my parents as well.
Now we will clear up what considers to be fine in the Romanian family.
Except that they had their grown-up sons living with them.
The family spends almost all of their time on their ship.
It's 24 years now that the family has turned their hobby into a profitable business.

They design sailing boats for wealthy Romans.
They not only make yachts but also take part in regattas.
And while they've got short vacations,
I decided to have a marine voyage together with them.
How often do you get together for a boat trip?
We used to it more often when they were little.
Massimo Gvardili, a businessman
Now on it's more difficult to find time to get together.
Don't you feel cold?
I think you are already used to cold, right?
It seems to be great weather for you right now, right?
Right, we feel good,
but mostly this time of the year we fly to the Caribbean.
We spend there a couple of months.
The weather is more pleasant there.
As they say,
The rich have a different life.
They construct around ten ships per year.
And each of them costs around 1,5 mln and up to 2 mln euros.
It is hand-made, so 
it can't but be expensive.

you don't forget about taxes.
Are you pressed by taxes?
Of course! Taxes here are exorbitant.
The only way out is to change laws and the government.
Did you ever think of moving away from here and start your business somewhere else?
Never.
Only a few parts of the details we are making in Poland,
and we do most of the work here.
Have you ever noticed
that the best quality products are made in the countries with the highest taxes.
Since we have no right to make a mistake.
Americo is 25.
Bianca is 23.

Well, money doesn't matter at all.
The way you grow up your children is what really matters.
Our kids even attended public schools.
We wanted to show them what real life is.
So they don’t live in a world of illusion.
There are 13 'Years' in the Roman school structure.
They even manage to change three schools within this period.
They change primary school to middle school and middle school to higher.
Everything is like everywhere around the country.
But there is one school in Rome that has revolutionized
the world’s education system.
I have often told you about the Montessori system.
And when in Rome, 
I came in to visit a school where the Montessori system came directly from.
Let's go and check the very origin of it.
It was in this apartment
 that Maria Montessori 
came up with a system for teaching children
and youngsters in Asia, the USA, Europe

Parents trust this system.
It respects kids' desires and accepts their inner world.
Children themselves choose the sphere they are interested in,
and the teacher is here to help them.
But no matter the school any kid used to attend, 
high school is all the same for everybody.
Alessandra Italia, Director of the Nursing Home
During their studies in high school, absolutely all students must work 300 hours in social institutions.
This is how they gain work experience.
As volunteers, they learn all the joys of working life.
Just like these students

We have to work here once a week.
What form are you in?
I am a graduator.
Why are you here?
Do they make you do it?
Nope, I am enjoying helping elderly people.
So what are you dealing with here?
I assist them on their way to the room, bring food, and clean the dishes.
And, of course, we are chatting a lot.
Stefanie Balsi, gynecologist
I am happy that such a program exists.
Due to it, teenagers become more responsible.
It also helps some to decide their future career.

Once a week they divide us into groups and apply us into different organizations.
It helps us to get experience and 
help others same time.
Where do you usually work?
We work both in animal shelters and in children's sports sections.
But, you know, me already love these grandmoms and grand athers,
that we just come here of my own free will.
Great job!
What's the most difficult here for you?
The most difficult thing is to find a common language.
They’re old and very vulnerable.
Are they telling you stories about their lives?
Right, most stories are about the War.
Because half of them remember it well.
Despite the fact that the retirement age is 67,
the average age of people who live here is 
around 85 and up to 87 years.

But, you know, me already love these grandmoms and grand athers,
that we just come here of my own free will.
Great job!
What's the most difficult here for you?
The most difficult thing is to find a common language.
They’re old and very vulnerable.
Are they telling you stories about their lives?
Right, most stories are about the War.
Because half of them remember it well.

But despite her age, she has a lot of energy.
As she used to do when she was younger, she spent time with her friends
and each morning
she is making a difficult choice
about which dress to put on.
Tecla Rosa, senior
Every day I have a dilemma about what to wear.
I thought I wouldn’t care about that in retirement, but alas.
I think that this red dress will be great for tomorrow.
It looks amazing!
They say it will get colder tomorrow,
the collar will come in handy.
Even at the age of 100,

These should be either your grandchildren or grand grandchildren, right?
So cute!
These are my lovely grandchildren!
 
They grow up so quickly.
Why do you live here then?
Well, I am old enough.
I am not feeling that amazing.
I would suffer at home, as it's hard to walk.
And here I’m always under the care.
And I've got here many friends.
Are you happy in the morning when you wake up?
I do. I saw the War.
I’ve witnessed a lot of discoveries and I’ve raised wonderful children.
I even have grand grandchildren.
This is the kind of happiness, isn't it?
Pupo, a famous Italian singer will soon become a senior as well.

I love Pupo since my childhood.
I remember all his performances at the San Remo Festival.
Pupo is the most notable representative of Italian variety art.
I really hope to meet him once in the streets of Rome.
It's not an easy  thing to find him home.
But today is my lucky day!
He just flew in with his wife back from the tour.
So what it's like to be rich and famous in Rome?
Let's ask a popular fan favorite!
That's your home, right?
You live here.
I am very busy.
Pupo, a singer
We are renting this apartment.
It's not that big, but it costs 5000 euros per month.
The thing is that this area is very safe,
and we are feeling calm here.
We've got a small kitchen, a sofa, a TV set,
and an empty fridge.

Let me show you.
We've got some beer here,
a bottle of champagne and some parmesan to go with that.
Great combo!
We always have some types of pasta here.
It is gluten-free.
Not a lot! Anything else?
Do you actually cook?
I never cook.
Patricia Abati, manager
There's no need to cook, Zhanna.
Once I ask her to make me some pasta,
and it was the worst thing ever in my life.
That's why I am always asking her to order some delivery.
She is number one in it.
Well, the same thing here.
I'm number one in making coffee.
So I understand you here.
Instead 
my wife in Tuscany always makes me happy with her culinary masterpieces.
I'd never divorce her, because she’s the best at it.
As it turned out, Pupo has two wives.

English: 
It's not officially, of course.
One of them lives in Tuscany with their children,
and the second one travels together with them all around the world
and is his manager same time.
Is it difficult to ger a divorce in Italy?
We've been living like that for 30 years now, and everyone's happy.
Let me take a sit now.
Pupo, take a sit.
How come that you've got two wives in Italy?
Officially I have only one wife.
But I love both of them equally.
It is not restricted.
We have lunch all together very often,
we celebrate New Year and Christmas all together as well.
I see that you are fine with it.
Would you love him to get divorced and become your husband officially?
I'm not extremely happy with it,
but we've already got used to sharing him between two families.
That's  real life of others.
These are truly Italian passions.
Pupo’s schedule is busy one year ahead.

English: 
You will have to spend a considerable amount of money having him on your party.
And like all the Italians,  he pays his taxes.
And due to his big income
Pupo pays 60% taxes.
Is there any reason to pay such high taxes?
Do you know where your taxes go?
I don't know.
It's hard for me to understand this system.
I love my country, but not the government.
Maybe these are seniors who feel it?
Zhanna, you can't say that seniors are having a good life.
At best, I’ll be paid 1,000 euros a month.
Once upon a time, Rome was the heart of the Roman Empire.
But those days are long gone and the world has changed.
And our government still leaves in the past, 
and don't wanna to develop.
Hopefully a Revival awaits us as we have long been stuck in the Middle Ages.
Pupo, like many temperamental Italians, complains
about the situation in his country.

Being a citizen here,
what do you really adore in Rome?
Kind, 
Fun and wonderful people live in Rome.
One can get here an awesome education.
We've got tremendous architecture.
Just look at Colosseum, Pantheon and Trevi Fountain,
Piazza di Spagna,
Piazza del Popolо.
People all around the world come in here
to admire it.
And we are living here since our childhood,
we are walking along these streets,
we are tasting the best ever ice-cream in the world
while our parents enjoy the best ever coffee.
Life isn't always a simple thing, 
but it is always a beautiful thing to enjoy.

 than in nice words.
Indeed, thanks to caring people, our world is only getting better.

He pays high taxes,

But who, if not the Romans, can say that great beauty is
children's laughter,
beautiful melody,
sunset over the Colosseum,
nature around us,
Michelangelo masterpieces,
the eyes of a loved one,
fountain de Trevi,  inner harmony, 
mother's smile, love, Rome is the beauty itself.
Sometimes it seems that the real beauty is so far away.
And the Life of Others seems to be better and brighter.
But, in fact, beauty is much closer
then we think.
You must only have the desire to see it.
