Rising up from the dust of the Lazio region of Italy, the once-and-future
self-appointed capital of the world stands bold against the winds of time,
meshing three thousand years of history together in a motley-colored quilt
of human experience. Once the capital of the mightiest empire, then the foundation
of the Christian world, and throughout history a focal point of art, architecture,
culture, and panache, Rome has remained near and dear to the hearts of millions.
Nestled on the Tiber River, speckled with its seven hills of yore, and blanketed
with hundreds upon hundreds of churches, fountains, piazzas, palazzi, dilapidated
columns, and as many sights and sites than any city in the world, Rome looks
to its present as much as it does to its past. While residing in the figurative
and literal shadow of its rich past, Rome’s current rhythm is all its
own. Hot nightclubs, contemporary reconstruction of historical landmarks,
well-stocked art museums, and masses of quality restaurants add up to the
resurgence of Bella Roma on the global scene; in the glow of the Pantheon,
the Colosseum, and St. Peter’s Basilica, the Eternal City pushes on
through life, never pausing to look back.
