Rome
'Rome wasn't built in a day', so they say. Well, how right they are. Its foundations may have been laid by the early Roman Empire, but the influence of medieval, Renaissance and Baroque over the centuries has not gone unnoticed. So much so that the Eternal City is today a legendary, captivating and beautiful city. And in amongst the ruins la dolce vita is as sweet, and as exciting, as in any European city, the root of a modern and lively metropolis with an endless range of nightspots and entertainment. Augustus would have been proud to see how his city has flourished.
