Attractions and Lifestyle of a historical City,Rome
Attractions:
There’s much to do and even more to see, and most are the historical places and historic sites are within walking distance of one another. Once the seat of the mightiest empire in existence, the culture of Rome has shaped the face of art, architecture, law, warfare, warfare, literature and language in the Western world today. In fact, some refer to Rome as the ‘cradle of Western civilization’.
Here some most attracting places of Rome like-
Coliseum: The most famous building of the Roman Empire is probably the Coliseum. The building accommodated more than 55.000 spectators and was home to many games featuring gladiators and wild animals. The monumental structure has fallen into ruins but even today it is an imposing and beautiful sight.
Trastevere: Its narrow cobblestone streets are lined with overhanging flower boxes and washing lines and home to numerous cafes, boutiques, pubs and restaurants. The area has long attracted artists, famous people and expats, and is a charming place to explore.
Pantheon: The stately Pantheon is one of the world’s most inspiring architectural designs. Fittingly built as a temple to the Gods by Hadrian, its perfectly proportioned floating dome rests seductively on sturdy marble columns. The only light source flowing through the central oculus was used by the Romans to measure time and the dates of equinoxes and solstices.
Trevi Fountain: The statues adorning this watery display represent Abundance, Agrippa, Salubrity, the Virgin and Neptune guided by two tritons. Tossing a coin into the fountain is supposed to guarantee a return trip to Rome.
Palatine Hill: The hill has a strong link to Roman mythology. It is believed that on Palatine Hill, the twins Romulus and Remus were found in the Lupercal Cave by their four-legged shepherd mother who raised them. Ultimately, this is where Romulus decided to build the city.
Lifestyle:
Rome is famous throughout the world for its beauty with a unique natural environment and historical and artistic heritage to such an extent that it is called ‘il bel Paese’(beautiful country).Although nowadays Rome pulses with the beat of all international metropolis, its people largely retain the original character, blending the new traits with the old ones.
Youngsters tend to live life in full. On one hand they get their share of “La Dolce Vita”, in a most relaxed fashion. They are passionate football fans, and they love scooters – apparently reckless as Valentino Rossi, they also know when it’s time to drive carefully. Romans just love gatherings and rallies. Although they will possibly inconvenience your visit, they are also spectacular and give you a cross-section of the incredibly witty and humorous Italian popular spirit. Romans, like all Italians, are masters of adaptability and resort to any expedient to survive ,or to put lunch and dinner together.
The upper classes naturally are far more mannerly and sophisticated, spending or squandering their time in a most intriguing lifestyle. Yet in Rome the old popular cultural traits are a highly considered reference for all.
Another aspect that makes Rome more than an interesting city is its variety of cultural events. Every month there are fairs, shows, concerts, cinema appointments and more….Yet the personality of the Romans is more complex and distinctively with many contrasting aspects .Are you wondering how it feels to sit down in a “Bar” in front of the Coliseum ,drinking a beer while admiring the power of this ancient monument? The best way to know it, it’s just trying it!
