Food, art, fashion, music and innovation

Welcome to Be(e) Happy Fest, a festival celebrating steet food and the legendary urban mode of transport known in Italian as the Ape, or "bee" in English.

The two-day festival offers freshly-prepared gourmet sandwiches, various fried specialities, appetisers, desserts, fruit and pizza, amid a fleet of vintage "bees" parked at the Officine Farneto in Monte Mario on the weekend of 7-8 February.

The festival pays tribute to the Ape Piaggio on its 60th anniversary and in addition to food it offers bespoke jewellery, clothing and accessories, with music provided by djs into the night.

Due to the festival's location near the Stadio Olimpico it could be of interest to the thousands of Italian and Irish rugby fans in town for the Six Nations match on 7 February.

There is free entry to the festival which is open on Sat 7 Feb from midday-02.00 and on Sun 8 Feb from midday to midnight.
