In the story · S4, Rome episodes

A real filming location. At the end of their first day together in Rome, Emily sits on the famous steps with Marcello, the charming heir of an Italian cashmere family she has just met. A photo of the two of them is how Sylvie, her boss in Paris, finds out who Emily really spent the day with.
