Di seguito vi consigliamo alcuni luoghi che, a nostro parere, meritano una particolare attenzione.
Castelli Romani
I Castelli Romani (Roman Castles), only few kilometers from Roma, are full of enchanting spots and breathtaking panoramic views. Castelli Romani are composed by 16 villages: Albano Laziale, Ariccia, Castel Gandolfo,Colonna, Frascati, Genzano di Roma, Grottaferrata, Lanuvio, Lariano, Marino, Monte Compatri, Monte Porzio Catone, Nemi, Rocca di Papa, Rocca Priora and Velletri, all in the middle of green nature. Right in the middle, there’s the Parco Regionale, a protected area of great naturalistic interest. There are a lot of typical products from this area: the most famous are Ariccia’s porchetta, Lariano’s bread and porcini mushrooms, Rocca di Papa’s chestnuts, Nemi’s strawberries and Frascati’s wine. Wine, in particular, is good and famous in all the Castelli’s area, thanks to the particular morphology of territory.
Foro romano
The Roman Forum was located in the valley between the Palatine and the Capitol and was the center of commercial, religious and political center of the city of Rome.
Colosseo
The emperors of the Flavia family built this large amphitheater for gladiatorial shows and hunts of wild animals, which in later centuries would become the symbol of the eternity of Urbe.
Galleria Borghese
Superb collection of cardinals seventeenth century came to us undamaged and indeed enriched by historical additions at the end of 700.
Musei Vaticani
The first group, a collection of ancient sculptures, was established by Pope Julius II (1503-13.) The idea of the museum was conceived by Clement XIII (1758-69), who with the assistance of Winckelmann set up the Profane Museum. With Clement XIV (1769-74) and Pius VI (1775-99) was the Museo Pio Clementino and in 1807-10, under Pius VII, set up by Canova Museum Chiaramonti.
Musei capitolini
Founded in 1471 by Pope Sixtus IV donated to the people of the Roman bronze statues of the Lateran (the She-Wolf, the Spinario, Camillo and the colossal head of Emperor Constantine with the hand and the orb of power), is considered the oldest public museum in the world; the return of these works - a sign of the past grandeur of Rome - the people of the town acquired so a higher symbolic value, since the Capitol was always the center of religious life in ancient Rome and, after a long period of neglect, home the civil courts since the Middle Ages.
