"Roma caput mundi". In these three Latin words you can find the greatness of the capital of a State that used to be capital of the known world. History runs through it, the ancient glory is still there, between the ruins of a theatre and a column absently laid on the side of a street. Ancient Rome and the contemporary one merge together, alternating from a street to an ally, from a square to a crossroad.
The magnificence of the Colosseo leaves anyone breathless. Slightly toching the enormous stone bricks, your imagination easily pictures centurions doing the rounds and gladiators fighting or horses pulling their chariots. While walking through the town, you always have the feeling of jumping through the centuries, to be there where history took place. Not even the most distracted visitor would be able to ignore such and important archaeological, artistic, and cultural patrimony.
Only those who stand in front of its staircase are able to understand the power of suggestion of the Vittoriano, which would be able to instil patriotism even to the grimmest mercenary. And anyone feels a thrill by inserting their hand into the Mouth of Truth (Bocca della Verità), a few minutes away from Circo Massimo and Trastevere.
