Diego Galuppi: ABC of Whisky

8 March, 2026

The Roma Whisky Festival is one of the largest whisky events in Italy. Every year in Rome, distilleries, experts, and whisky lovers from around the world gather in one place. The venue quickly fills with the rich and diverse aromas of whisky. Among the many events at the festival, one class is especially popular. It is the beginner course called “ABC of Whisky.” The instructor of this course is Diego Galuppi, a whisky specialist from Rome. Today he is also active in Milan, where he organizes tastings and seminars to help spread whisky culture.

Sigaro Toscano

6 March, 2026

At the Roma Whisky Festival, the famous Italian cigar brand Toscano hosted a masterclass dedicated to the pairing of whisky and cigars. When people hear about whisky and cigar pairing, some may feel that it sounds a little intimidating. However, the way to enjoy it is actually very simple. Pour a glass of whisky, light a cigar, and slowly taste the smoke while taking a sip of whisky. That alone can create a moment that feels a little more special than usual.

Otivm Roof Bar sits right next to the Campidoglio, better known as Capitoline Hill. One of the seven sacred hills of Rome. The moment you step onto the terrace, the view in front of you feels unmistakably Roman. The first thing that catches your eye is the massive white structure rising over Piazza Venezia, the Vittorio Emanuele II Monument, a symbol of Italian unification. Built entirely of marble, it dazzles under the midday sun and softens into a gentle glow at dusk, quietly reminding you of the sheer scale and ambition of Rome.
