What’s Next With Tommaso De Sanctis
The Soho House Rome member and owner of Camillo shares 27 of his favourite things
My family have lived and worked in the famous Piazza Navona square since 1890 and own Camillo, previously known as Caffè Barocco, which I now run.
‘I wanted my 27 selections to express my attitude and creativity. When I started to understand and accept my chaotic mind, I found a way to channel my creative energy. I’m currently focused on conceptualising a new dining experience in Rome that will challenge the way visitors currently think about food in the city. I’ve always felt that Rome is perceived differently to other European capitals because it’s so deeply steeped in tradition. Hopefully I can change that with my exciting new venture.’
