WHAT TO SEE IN ROME?
6 places in Rome that you must see.
Colosseum
The Romans were delighted by assisting here, the fights between gladiators and ferocious animals or the simulations of naval battles.
The construction of the Colosseum was commissioned and initiated by Emperor Vespasian, founder of the Flavian dynasty, and continued in the years to come. Titus, the successor son of Vespasian, added two orders of seats to the structure desired by his father and to celebrate the work (80 AD), he held up a hundred days of games.
The Colosseum is still today one of the most important and representative monuments of Rome, which imposes its majestic presence in the city center.
Vatican Museums
The Vatican Museums are universally known as one of the richest and most splendid museum complexes in the world and also include an art gallery, with works by Raphael, Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci. The Sistine Chapel ant hte St Peter’s Basilica. A must see!
Trevi Fountain in Rome
If you are in Rome and intend to return, then do not hesitate to throw a coin in the famous Trevi Fountain to make your wish come true. Designed by architect Nicolò Salvi, the Fountain receives the waters of the Vergine aqueduct from the days of Augustus.
Navona Square
A place where you can relax sitting at a table in a bar, surrounded by sculptures and Baroque architecture. Piazza Navona is one of the most popular squares of tourists and Roman citizens and is located in the place where the ancient stadium of Domitian stood. In fact, thanks to the oval shape of the space, games and sporting events were organized until the 19th century.
At the square you can also admire a work by Bernini, the Fountain of the Four Rivers, or the Ganges, the Danube, the Rio della Plata and the Nile. Each of them is represented by a giant placed on a pyramidal rock on which there is also a Roman obelisk.
Spanish Steps
You can not go to Rome and not see Piazza di Spagna with its Trinità dei Monti staircase, which with its 135 steps seems to climb into the sky.
Wonderful setting for the haute couture fashion shows and famous protagonist of many films, Piazza di Spagna is known and loved all over the world.
Campo de Fiori
At the center of the square stands a statue of the philosopher Giordano Bruno, who was burnt alive by the Inquisition because of his theories and claims considered heretical. How come this square has this name?
There are two stories about the birth of the name: the first claims that it derives from Flora, one of the lovers of the Emperor Pompey, the second claims that it is because of the plants and flowers that covered the square in the fifteenth century. Obviously to date no more executions and judgments are held but the square is the scene of the frenetic Roman life, thanks to the open-air market that takes place in the morning and to the clubs that entertain young people and tourists during the evening hours.
