About Rome: The Eternal City

Rome, the Eternal City (La Città Eterna), stands as one of the world's most magnificent destinations, where 3,000 years of history unfold across every piazza, ancient ruin, and baroque fountain. Founded according to legend by Romulus in 753 BCE, Rome served as the heart of the Roman Empire that shaped Western civilization, and later became the center of Christianity and the Catholic Church. The Colosseum (Colosseo), completed in 80 CE under Emperor Titus, remains the largest ancient amphitheater ever built—a UNESCO World Heritage marvel where gladiators once battled before 50,000+ spectators and which now symbolizes Roman engineering genius and cultural legacy. Beyond the Colosseum, Rome's incomparable treasures include the Roman Forum's ancient government center, the Pantheon's perfectly preserved dome, Trevi Fountain where millions toss coins to ensure their return, the Spanish Steps' elegant baroque stairway, and Vatican City housing St. Peter's Basilica and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling. But Rome's magic extends beyond monuments—it lives in the narrow streets of Trastevere where trattorias serve carbonara and cacio e pepe, in the piazzas buzzing with espresso-sipping locals, in the Vespa scooters weaving through traffic with effortless Italian style. The red Vespa, produced by Piaggio since 1946, became an icon of Italian freedom and design featured in films like "Roman Holiday" where Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck explored Rome's streets on the famous scooter. Today, Rome welcomes over 10 million annual visitors who come to walk in the footsteps of emperors and popes, to experience masterpieces by Bernini, Caravaggio, and Raphael, to enjoy authentic Roman cuisine in centuries-old neighborhoods, and to understand why this city has captivated travelers for millennia. Whether you studied abroad exploring archaeological sites, honeymooned wandering romantic streets at sunset, threw coins in Trevi Fountain, rode a Vespa through villa-lined roads, enjoyed aperitivo in Campo de' Fiori, or simply dream of experiencing "la dolce vita" in Italy's incomparable capital, Rome represents the perfect marriage of ancient wonder and timeless Italian charm that makes it truly eternal.
