Brasileira turista bet club Roma admite que a cidade não está cumprindo suas expectativas, apesar da atração 👄 da série "Emily in Paris"

Gabriela Sirtoli, turista brasileira de 35 anos, confessou que Roma não estava sendo tão agradável quanto 👄 ela imaginava. Ela chegou à capital italiana um dia antes com bet club parceira e suas mães, parcialmente atraída pelas cenas 👄 encantadoras da cidade que ela viu na série "Emily in Paris".

"Quando Emily começou bet club Paris, fui para Paris", disse Sirtoli. 👄 "Agora que está bet club Roma, estamos aqui."

A série, centrada bet club uma americana que se muda para Paris para trabalhar, insinuou 👄 recentemente um cenário diferente, abandonando as vistas amplas da Torre Eiffel e da Basílica do Sacré-Coeur bet club Montmartre bet club favor 👄 de uma excursão de Vespa que passou por sights romanos como a Fontana di Trevi até o Coliseu.

O criador da 👄 série confirmou posteriormente planos para que a quinta temporada da série se desenrolasse entre Paris e Roma, construindo sobre as 👄 participações surpresa que a Cidade Eterna teve no final da quarta temporada.

Um Rome mais limpo e sem multidões na tela

Em 👄 alguns episódios, a série mostrou um Rome com pouco trânsito, poucas multidões e muito espaço para turistas contemplarem monumentos cuja 👄 história remonta a milênios.

Entretanto, a primeira experiência de Sirtoli como turista bet club Roma foi muito diferente, enquanto ela e bet club 👄 família lutavam contra hordas de turistas e gastavam horas bet club filas.

Still, she was hopeful that the show – and the 👄 magical glimpse it had offered of Rome – would pull through. "We came to the Colosseum today and we're starting 👄 to like the city much more," she said.

Romanos animados com a chegada da Emily in Paris

In Rome's city centre, many 👄 were excited about the change. "I'm definitely going to watch it," said Antonella Catalano, a designer, who has a small 👄 shop near the Spanish Steps. She waved off concerns that the show would bring even more tourists to the already 👄 heaving city. "It's a good thing for Rome."

Originally from Calabria, Catalano was eager to see how the show's saccharine gaze 👄 would be applied to the Eternal City. "I've lived in Rome for 12 years, but every time I watch a 👄 movie set in Rome it seems like a completely different city."

Críticas à série e impacto na cidade

In the quartiere of 👄 Esquilino, about a mile or so away from the throngs of tourists, the show's foray into Rome was also being 👄 embraced, even as it was seen as another extension of the shameless fantasy that the series has long peddled.

"What they 👄 showed wasn't the real Rome," said Christiana Cavallo, a hairdresser. "They made Rome too clean, there were no crowds. Paris 👄 was more real."

The show has long come under criticism for depicting Paris as a city with little litter or construction 👄 work and few homeless people.

Cavallo said the series' stint in Rome had dominated chatter at her hair salon. "There's no 👄 traffic. And when the Italian couple is fighting in the restaurant and swearing at each other, it's exaggerated. It was 👄 a bit vulgar."

Still, she was elated that it was Rome's turn to shine. "Emily is Emily, I love it," she 👄 said.

Her comments hinted at the wide-ranging impact of the show, despite it being panned by critics. This week, the series 👄 set off a diplomatic spat after the French president, Emmanuel Macron, vowed to "fight hard" to keep the show in 👄 Paris.

Rome's mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, swiftly shot back. "Dear Emmanuel Macron, don't worry. Emily is doing very great in Rome," he 👄 wrote on social media, adding: "Besides, the heart wants what it wants: let's let her choose."

Impacto econômico e preocupações com 👄 o crescimento do turismo

Macron's decision to wade into the lighthearted matter was likely to have been driven by hard data: 👄 since the show started streaming in 2024, it has been credited with increasing trade and lighting up the phones of 👄 estate agents in Paris. It has also attracted legions of tourists, with one study finding that 38% of tourists cited 👄 the show among their reasons for visiting the city.

Back in Rome, Angelika Molina, 75, seeking respite from the heaving crowds 👄 at the Fontana di Trevi, was not sure if the city was ready to take in more tourists. "It would 👄 be madness, I don't know if Rome could handle it," said the Argentine tourist. "To me, it already seems like 👄 there are too many people here."

The city's turn in the series comes as Rome prepares for the 2025 jubilee, a 👄 year-long Roman Catholic event that is expected to draw more than 30 million tourists and pilgrims.

For Molina, however, the series's 👄 move meant a coming together of two of her passions: Emily in Paris and Rome. She had excitedly watched the 👄 scenes in Rome before landing in the city with her granddaughter for her fourth visit. "It was magnificent," she said. 👄 "I'm already looking forward to the next season."

Others expressed concern over how the series, long blasted for its stereotype-heavy portrayal 👄 of French culture, would typecast Rome and Italian culture. "Can't they stay in Paris?" asked Anastasia, 27, from London. "Leave 👄 Rome alone."

The little she had seen of the show had laid bare a missed opportunity to delve into the reality 👄 of immigrating and integrating into a new culture, Anastasia said. "[Emily] doesn't really appreciate or learn the culture, she's not 👄 actively learning the language, she's not immersing herself," she said. "I know it's escapism ... But I'm just like, look, 👄 don't let her ruin Rome."

What Emily in Paris – now Rome – was serving up was a "bit cliche", admitted 👄 Amalia Rosa, 21, a fan of the show, as crowds pushed past her at the Fontana di Trevi.

A case in 👄 point was the show's visit to the same monument, showing scenes with just a few dozen people and plenty of 👄 space for everyone. "That was improbable, there would never be so few people around here," said the engineering student.

"But what 👄 they're showing was La Bella Roma," she added. "It's the Rome that everyone would like to see."
