Polvere di Tempo è una piccola bottega nel cuore di una Trastevere profondamente cambiata ma che conserva ancora oggi quell’essenza di una Roma autentica, genuina e dal fascino popolare, capace di regalarci le ultime testimonianze di un artigianato in via d’estinzione. Entrando nel nostro laboratorio di produzione e vendita bussole a Roma, si può avere la sensazione di essere inghiottiti in uno scenario dove il tempo lo fa da padrone e dove ogni cosa, d’innanzi ai nostri occhi, assume un fascino straordinario. Oggetti unici, gran parte di essi realizzati interamente a mano dal titolare Adrian, che da oltre 25 anni forgia e realizza le proprie opere: clessidre, bussole, orologi, meridiane, astrolabi, sestanti e mappamondi, un’attività di riproduzione di grandi capolavori in grado di far rivivere, a chiunque, le origini della storia astronomica.

The Antica Caciara Trasteverina is an ancient shop in the heart of Rome whose name was given by the same "transteverins": here, in fact, the shepherds broght their cheeses (called "caci" or "caciotte") from the roman countryside. The shop, founded in 1900, is run today by Roberto Polica and his wife Anna. Roberto, thanks to the passion inherited by his father Antonio and his grandfather Albino, lets know to all his clients hand-made and high quality italian products. Professionality and kindness make the Antica Caciara Trasteverina a shop loved not only by the romans, but by all the people who visited it once in a life.
