 
Rome is charming, it is eternal and it is romantic.One must never leave Rome without having dreamt a moment and stopped at the Trevi Fountain to throw 3 coins and make three wishes, but the first will always be the most important - to come back to Rome
Rome, the Eternal City, the only city in the world that has never been abandoned throughout its 28 centuries of history and, therefore, holds all of its treasures, mysteries and monuments.
Thus Rome is the largest living museum in the world and preserves for humanity, the most important monuments, engineering fetes, art, and history as the most varied testimony of the cultures and of all civilizations past. All the civilizations of the Mediterranean world fused together here in Rome. Many times it was sacked and destroyed only to be reborn again, each time reborn from its ruins.
This monumental city is a sun-shining city of fountains, of palaces, of churches, of piazzas, colossal monuments, of cupolas, bell towers, Egyptian obelisks, ancient bridges and aqueducts, home of many sovereign states and diplomatic immunities, embassies, public gardens, of talking statues and cobble stone streets, and of great inventors and of aristocratic families of its glorious past. It is also the capital city of one of the most industrial countries in the world.
This extraordinary city houses another country within its own city limits, the Vatican City, the smallest country in the world. It is the home of the Pope and the home of the Swiss Guards, the cradle of Christianity, the location of the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo’s sculpture of the Pietà, of St. Peter’s Basilica, the tomb of St. Peter.
Rome is enchanting and mysterious, a romantic city both pagan and Christian - the City of the Caesars, the City of the Popes, the City of the curators of the arts, of the rich aristocratic families that ruled it for 500 years, of the Roman Emperors that conquered the world, the City of Michelangelo, of Bernini, of Julius Caesar, of Cicero, of Federico Fellini, of great engineering and architectural feats such as the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pantheon, the Roman Coliseum, the Trevi Fountain, the ancient Apian Way, the Borghese Gallery, Navona Square, and much more.
It is amazing but once one comes to Rome, one always returns. Come and walk with me, let’s discover the mystery of the charm and eternity of this noble city. Lets discover it many secrets. See the pagan city transformed into a Christian city and the ancient monuments transformed into modern dwellings and offices. Live the tranquil Mediterranean life and enjoy a cappuccino at a coffee house overlooking a temple, which today is the current stock exchange of Rome or dream of life gone by from the terrace of St. Angel’s Castle. Rome is built in layers of history and sackings so underneath the current level there is another city and another city.
Rome, the one and only.

"Tis the centre to which all gravitates. One finds no rest
Elsewhere than here. There may be other cities
That please us for a while, but Rome alone
Completely satisfies. It becomes to all
A second native land by predilection,
And not by accident of birth alone." ---Longfellow |
