The architectural, historical, artistic and cultural wonders are diverse and unfold over several centuries, starting from antiquity to reach the present day.
According to tradition, it was founded in 753 BC. and it was the first great metropolis of humanity, Here the Latin language was born and it was the capital of the Roman Empire, the Papal State and the Kingdom of Italy. Inside, Rome hosts the enclave of the Vatican City.
In the itineraries most loved by tourists there is certainly St. Peter's Basilica, still today one of the largest churches in the world. The Basilica is located in the place where, according to tradition, the apostle Peter was buried. The construction of the present Basilica lasted about two hundred years and was the work of various artists, including Bramante, Michelangelo and Bernini. The dome was designed by Michelangelo. Inside the Basilica there is the famous statue of Michelangelo's Pietà. Outside, the Basilica is characterized by a colonnade of 284 Doric columns, designed by Bernini, which seems to embrace the faithful.
One of the most famous monuments in the world is probably the Colosseum, whose real name is the Flavian Amphitheater. The Colosseum was commissioned by Emperor Vespasian and was intended for fights and games between gladiators, and hunting simulations with exotic and ferocious animals.
Another symbolic monument is the Trevi fountain. The fountain takes its waters from one of the oldest Roman aqueducts and depicts Oceano on a shell-shaped chariot, pulled by sea horses, led by tritons. According to a legend, throwing a coin into the fountain ensures a return to the Eternal City.
The Pantheon, dedicated to the worship of all the gods, was built by the emperor Hadrian between 118 and 125 AD. on the remains of a previous temple. In the dome of the Pantheon there is a large circular opening, Oculus, 9 meters wide, which lets in sunlight or rainwater, which is then captured by holes in the floor. Since 1870, the remains of the kings of Italy and the great Renaissance artist Raffaello Sanzio have been inside the Pantheon.
For archeology lovers, an obligatory stop on the tour are the Imperial Forums, which extend between the Capitol and the Quirinale. It was Julius Caesar, in 54 BC. to command the construction of a new square, given that the ancient Republican Forum was no longer sufficient for the enormous empire it had built. Over time, the Forum of Augustus, the Transitional Forum and the Trajan's Forum were added to the Forum of Caesar.
Among the most beautiful squares in Rome we point out: Piazza di Spagna, which opens up in front of the Pincio hill, at the foot of the Spanish Steps; Piazza Navona, built where the Stadium of Domitian once stood, is now a meeting point with street artists and outdoor cafes; Campo de 'Fiori, a market in the morning and the nerve center of nightlife in the evening, was once the stage for public executions.
Finally, do not forget to visit the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel known throughout the world both for being the place where the conclave and other official ceremonies of the Pope are held, and for being decorated with some of the best known works of art and celebrated of Western artistic civilization, the frescoes by Michelangelo Buonarroti.
