Visiting Rome: address book of an artistically empirical city

 

Cradle of Renaissance Art and a place of worship for artists from all over the world, Rome is the city not to be missed for lovers of history, romance and architecture.

 

The Colosseum

 

Born in the Renaissance, the Colosseum housed the famous gladiatorial battles in its amphitheatre, which could accommodate 50,000 to 75,000 people. This incredible building perfectly allegorizes the grandeur of a Roman empire at its height when it was erected and inaugurated in 80 AD. Now damaged by the wear and tear of time and the exploitation of its stones for the construction of medieval buildings, such as St. Peter's Basilica, the Colosseum nevertheless remains one of the essential addresses in the city of Rome. Once night falls, the Colosseum is all the more pleasant to admire thanks to its pleasant play of light.

 

The Trevi Fountain

 

An inevitable place of passage, the Trevi Fountain was built at the request of Pope Benedict XIV, by Nicolas Salvi, who inaugurated it in 1762. Its name "Trevi" is said to come from the story of the girl named Trevi who revealed the location of the spring of this fountain to Roman soldiers to save her virginity. This fountain is surrounded by a statuary representation of the Ocean. In the centre: Neptune, pulled by sea horses and proudly seated on its shell, separating the violent water from the calm water. Try the superstition of the coin thrower in this fountain by not forgetting to throw 2: 1 for your wish to come true, the 2nd to make sure you will return to Rome one day!

 

At Castroni's

 

In addition to the Roman heritage, the country is full of a world-famous gastronomy: pasta, pizza, olive oil, mozzarella... which it would be a pity to leave on the spot. If you are a lover of good products and there is still some room in your suitcase, Chez Castroni is the flagship brand for your purchases of local products. You can find many shops in the different districts of the capital to stock up on typical Italian products, teas, drinks, liqueurs and the famous Castroni café. This fine Roman-style delicatessen will delight your taste buds and those of your entourage.

 

The Vatican

 

It is impossible to leave the mythical Italian capital without leaving the country for an afternoon to immerse yourself in the religious and solemn universe of the Vatican. This quasi-state, the cradle of the world's Christian civilization, immerses you in an immensely rich and timeless heritage. The visit to the Vatican necessarily involves a visit to the Sistine Chapel and its typically Romanesque architecture, as well as a visit to Saint Peter's Basilica, from where you can admire Michelangelo's magnificent Pieta and also Saint Peter's tomb.
