Excerpts

The Eternal City



However you arrive in Rome, by autostrada, or train or plane, you can tell by the traffic that
you are entering a grand nexus: All paths lead to Rome.  
More than Florence, more than Venice, Rome is Italy's treasure trove. Packed as it is with
masterpieces from more than two millennia of artistic achievement -- for this is where Republican
Rome once bustled around the extravagant buildings of the Roman Forum, centuries later Michelangelo
Buonarroti painted the ceiling in the Cappella Sistina, and in modern tines, Federico Fellini filmed
La Dolce Vita and 8-1/2 at Cinecittá Studios.



Ancient Romans, Vandals, Popes and the Borgias, Michelangelo and Gianlorenzo Bernini, Napoléon and
Mussolini all left their physical and spiritual marks on the city.  Today Rome's formidable legacy is
upheld by its people, history knit into the fabric of their everyday life.  Modern Rome has one foot
in the past, one in the present -- a delightful stance that allows you to have an espresso in a
square designed by Bernini, then take the Metro back to your hotel room in a renovated Renaissance
palace.
