Rome
Rome is located in the region of Lazio, in the south
of Italy. Being the capital of Italy, it is a flourishing city of
business, trade and politics. In Rome there are an infinite number
of attractions and landmarks, some dating as far back as the second
century. In much of modern Rome you can visually trace over a thousand
years of western historical development.
As you walk through the streets of Rome, you perceive the natural
blend of both past and present. The overwhelming still standing
structure of the Colosseum against the hustle and bustle of peak
hour traffic. The general street life, sounds and smells of contemporary
living against an ancient past full of sancturaries, forums and
pantheons.
Rome has a very intense cultural and intellectual life and is also
the headquarters of UN agencies and the scholarly academies of many
nations. The city is a cosmopolitan metropolis with all the attractions
and amenities of a major European capital. Romans are "simpatici"
and you will always find them out at night pacing the streets on
their regular "passeggiata", eating at the many wonderful and diverse
restaurants and talking and gesticulating with their hands which
is endearingly considered their trademark!
From Rome, Naples and its environs, including Mt. Vesuvius, Pompeii,
Sorrento, and Positano, are easily reached by train. Other points
of interest not far from Rome are the islands of Capri and Sardegna
and the beaches of Calabria.
