Rome, capital city of Italy, is one of Europe's treasures. It is a city so steeped in history, its legacy is hard to avoid. The city resembles a vast open-air museum where the present persists on top of the past, as it has for more than two-and-a-half millennia. With so many monuments, museums and masterpieces to view, the decision on where to begin can be an overwhelming yet enjoyable one. The 'centro storico' contains the greatest concentration of classical Roman and Christian sites in a comparatively small area. Almost every palazzo, piazza and park has its own heritage, steeped in history, from Etruscan to Renaissance, and more recently through cinema classics by filmmakers such as Frederico Fellini and Vittorio de Sica. Arguably the most enviable address in Rome, it is discreetly located adjacent to Via Veneto and yet it is a short walk to Piazza di Spagna. Close to the fashion and art worlds of Rome, and with its unique collection of interweaving streets, it is a very popular place for Romans to congregate.
