City
ROMA LIVE.
As Borges used to say, “You never go to Rome for the first time, you always go back”.
Rome has always existed in the collective imagination: the city of ruins, of artists, of the Dolce Vita. Experiencing it means sitting in the Café of the Boscolo Palace in Via Veneto, a living museum, where the 1950s come to mind, when the streets were full of people, day and night, of characters in search of notoriety and the flashes of paparazzi cameras (as Fellini called the ever-present photographers of scandal magazines of the time).
Via Veneto has become a symbol of evening-time Rome, as Via Condotti is that of shopping Rome. The city of arches and temples, with almost three thousand years of history behind it, is full of gardens for a stroll between maritime pines, cypress trees, pomegranates, olives, arbutus and bulrush: a greenery belonging to the time of the Twins and the Capitoline Wolf, small, sacred woods such as those of Greek and Latin classicism.
Getting to know Rome means seeing the most important wonders which make Rome the city with the most works of art in the world and, for this reason, a world heritage: from the Colosseum to the Pantheon, from the Trevi Fountain to the many museums and art galleries of modern and traditional art.
