Welcome to Rome
one of the most beautiful and historical cities around the world
Rome is a large, busy metropolis that lives in the here and now, yet there’s no other place on earth where you’ll encounter such powerful evocations of a long and spectacular past, from the Colosseum to St. Peter’s. Indeed, more than Florence, more than Venice, Rome is Italy’s treasure storehouse. Here, the ancient Romans originated what we now call Western Civilization; centuries later Michelangelo painted the Sistine Ceiling, Bernini sculpted baroque nymphs and naiads that still dance in marble fountains, and Fellini filmed “La Dolce Vita
Today, ancient Rome rubs shoulders with the medieval and the modern runs into the Renaissance. Be prepared to step into the world’s biggest open air museum. Rome will seduce you and it will hardly leave you indifferent. Modern and old, past and present go side by side, all the time.
The city is full of culture, religion and history. Rome has been the seat of the Papacy since the 1st century AD and in the 8th century it became the capital of the Papal States. Rome has been for centuries the heart of the Roman Catholic religion.
The most important symbols of its Architecture are: the Colosseum (70–80 AD), the amphitheatre, the Pantheon, the Catacombs, the Circus Maximus, the Mausoleum of Augustus, Castel Sant’Angelo, the Arch of Constantine, the Pyramid of Cestius, and the Bocca della Verità, Santa Maria Maggiore, Torre delle Milizie, the Torre dei Conti, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Piazza del Campidoglio by Michelangelo, the Palazzo del Quirinale (now seat of the President of the Italian Republic), the Palazzo Venezia, the Palazzo Farnese, Piazza Navona, Piazza di Spagna, Campo de’ Fiori, Piazza Venezia, Piazza Farnese, Piazza della Rotonda and Piazza della Minerva, the Fontana di Trevi by Nicola Salvi, the Palazzo Madama, and many others
Surrounded by many monuments, palaces, basilicas, piazzas, churches, aqueducts, fountains and old houses, Rome shows the different styles of Architecture used during years: Ancient Architecture, Medieval Architecture, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, Neoclassicism, Fascist architecture.
Besides of its incredible architecture and Art, Rome is also considered one of the fashion capitals and a cosmopolitan city, it has stores of the most renowned brands such as Bulgari, Fendi, Chanel, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani and Versace.
