Rome, the eternal city, where art, culture and literature are alive today as in the days of Michelangelo, gives everybody the chance to discover its wonderful open air “museums”: the Vatican city, the Imperial Forum, Sant’Angelo Castle and the majesty of the Coliseum.
Thousands of years of history, distinguished by the presence of glorious Empires, consigned to Rome an artistic heritage as few other places in the world. Everywhere in this city it is possible to find traces of a secular culture, where the constant flux of tourists crowds all the hotels and the monuments in Rome. The Italian capital leaves everybody breathless: treasures of incomparable beauty made of squares, palaces, alleys, churches and fountains. Rome can proposes a series of itineraries, inside the city and in the neighborhood, that enable the tourist to find out and admire the fascination of such a wonderful city, its history, art, its beauties and traditions. Starting from the Trevi fountain, an obliged stop for who is visiting Rome, realized under the portico of Clemente XII around 1735 AD along Poli Palace, this is a work by the architect Nicolò Salvi and today is still flowed by the Vergine aqueduct projected in 19 BCE by the Consul Agrippa. The small Trevi square, that hosts Rome’s most famous fountain, is probably the place most crowded by visitors, who, as the tradition says, launch a coin in the pool hoping that this gesture could guarantee them to come back once again to Rome. The next stop is Via del Corso, a very important road of the historical Rome, on which overlooks the Dora Pamphilj palace; from here we can reach the famous Venice Square, geometric center of the city and also the union point of the most important roads of the city. This square has been created in the 15 century and here we can find some very important art works as Palazzo Venezia and the Basilica di San Marco, that rises at the foot of the Capitol Hill, now location of the Rome municipality that hosts three palaces (of the Senators, of Conservators and Palazzo Nuovo)
