roma

Roma, the eternal city, a heady cocktail of classical Roman, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical, Catholic and Fascist aesthetics – from the Colosseum to the Palazzo della Farnesina. Roma, the glamorous city of la dolce vita, mythologised in the Twentieth Century movies of Hollywood and Cinecitta studios. Roma, the country’s capital city, straddling the Tiber river in central Italy, where round every corner you encounter a monumental piece of history: a gateway arch, a fountain, a statue, an obelisk, a bridge, a temple, a cathedral, a castello, a civic building, or a pallazo. Roma, the gastronomic paradise, whose every piazza is lined with all manner of establishments serving food, drink, gelati, pastries and coffee. Roma, the quintessentially Italian city: cultured, stylish, dynamic, theatrical, gregarious.
