Ciao Bella ciao
FROM COSMOPOLITAN ROME
It’s a city that you can’t get enough of and where three days of sightseeing are by no means enough. It is cosmopolitan, charismatic, and probably the most romantic city in the world. We’re talking about Italy’s capital: Rome. A city that boasts almost 3,000 years of art history, world-class architecture, and culture, and is surrounded by such an intoxicating lifestyle that it can make you dizzy with amore.
A truly world-class city.
#History
Ancient ruins such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon are reminders of the city‘s golden age as the capital of the world. Basilicas bear witness to the enormous influence of the Catholic Church on the cityscape. St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel are the most visited sights in the Vatican and bear witness to the power of the popes during the Renaissance. Many ornate squares and extravagant fountains give the city a baroque touch.
One that has them all: Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Bernini…you name it!
#Art
Few cities can match Rome’s artistic heritage. Throughout history, Rome has attracted the world’s best artists and inspired them to push the boundaries of creative achievement. The result is a city full of artistic treasures. Ancient statues adorn museums. Byzantine mosaics and Renaissance frescoes shine in ancient churches. Baroque facades flank medieval squares.
Strolling through Rome’s alleyways, you come across masterpieces by the titans of European art: sculptures by Michelangelo, paintings by Caravaggio, frescoes by Raphael, and fountains by Bernini.
Stroll over the ancient cobblestones & inhale the dolce vita lifestyle.
#Lifestyle
Apart from art and culture, the dolce vita lifestyle is also characteristic of the Italian metropolis. Strolling through the picturesque streets or relaxing for hours in street cafés – all this is part of the Roman lifestyle. In the evening, you can enjoy an aperitivo in the city’s bars and cafés before heading out for dinner and later to the trendy cocktail bars and late-night clubs.
Pizza, pasta & amore.
#Culinary
Eating out in Rome is a first-class experience. A large number of Michelin-starred chefs and restaurants make gourmets’ hearts beat faster, as do authentic little pizzerias and trattorias serving traditional pasta dishes made according to family recipes or wafer-thin pizzas in the neighborhood. Romantic ambience meets delicious food and excellent wine. What more could you want?
Because we just can’t get enough of Rome!
