| According to legend the Roman Empires capital city was founded by Romulus and Remus, two brothers reared by a she-wolf. Rome was built on seven hills and was the center of the ancient world. Classical masonic ruins bear witness to the splendor of an age gone by. A majestic aura still dominates the capital and largest city of Italy, even though modern sounds, sights and smells have permeated the ancient atmosphere. The carefree, energetic flow of Italian life can be experienced at every landmark, in any of the numerous bars, at the markets, on the piazzas, in the restaurants serving delicious Italian specialties, indeed at every corner. The countless churches, Vatican City, world-renowned museums and works of architecture comprise the ancient backdrop, but it is the Romans themselves who add the distinguishing touch and ensure that each visitor personally experiences the unique Roman character of "The Eternal City". |
