Rome was built on seven hills and was the center of the antique world. Classical Roman masonic ruins bear witness to the splendor of an age gone by. A majestic feeling still dominates the capital and largest city of the Italian peninsula, even though modern sounds, smells and sights have invaded the authentic atmosphere. The carefree, energetic flow of Italian life can be experienced at every landmark, in any of the numerous bars, at the markets, on the piazzas, in the restaurants serving delicious Italian specialties, indeed at every corner. The countless churches, Vatican City, ancient excavations, renowned museums and works of architecture comprise the backdrop, but it is the Romans themselves who add the distinguishing touch, to ensure each visitor experiences the unique Roman character of "The Eternal City".
