Welcome to Rome – the town on seven hills
Rome is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and of the oldest as well. This wonderful city is approximately 2700 years old, though from the extra-modern façade it wears today, you would never guess it outright. Rome, the capital city of Italy, has a population of only 2.8 million people, and is sprawled over an area of 5,352 sq kms.
This romantic city bears witness to the spectacular glory of the ancient Roman empire which was once ruled by the might Julius Caesar. The standing ruins of the ancient Rome are quiet testimony of the advanced civilization of the past. At the same time Rome is also the cradle of the fine arts, and home of Michelangelo, Botticelli, Raphael, Belini, Pinturicchio, among many other artists who have left their indelible traces in the sands of time.
The passage from the ancient to the modern time is so effortless in Rome that it leaves with a feeling of deep connection; it is totally awe-inspiring about its ageless beauty and historical presence merging into the 21st century so seamlessly.
