This is Rome

Rome is the capital of Italy and one of the oldest cities in Europe that people have lived in without a break. For a thousand years it ruled an empire around the Mediterranean, then it became the city of the popes, and today its Roman ruins, Renaissance palaces and Baroque fountains stand side by side in a busy modern capital.

  • The Colosseum, the Forum and the Pantheon, the best-kept buildings of ancient Rome
  • The Vatican, the smallest country in the world, with St Peter’s and the Sistine Chapel
  • Baroque squares and fountains by Bernini and Borromini, like Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain
  • Pasta alla carbonara, cacio e pepe and the little green drinking fountains, the nasoni
