Rome
is an immense open museum where works of art,
archaeological
 remains
and innumerable monuments were accumulated over the
past 3 Millennia.
It is simply full of
history with an enormous amount of spectacular
ancient Roman monuments, including the
Vatican City,
The Forum, from where Julius Caesar once governed
ancient Rome, the
Colosseum and the ruins of the
Circus Maximus. It is also a maze of interlocking
piazzas, streets, fountains, vicoli that curve in on
themselves. Rome is wide and intimate, pious
and profane, indifferent and reverent, with a
street life that is among the most vibrant to be
found in Europe.
