Rome

Rome (Italian: Roma, Latin: Roma, Coptic: ϩⲣⲱⲙⲏ (Hromé)) is the capital city of Italy and of the Lazio region, as well as the country's largest and most populous comune, with more than 2.7 million residents. The metropolitan area has a population of about 4 million. It is located in the central-western portion of the Italian peninsula, where the river Aniene joins the Tiber. The Mayor of Rome is Walter Veltroni.
An enclave of Rome is the State of the Vatican City, the sovereign territory of the Holy See. It is the smallest nation in the world, and the capital of the only religion that has representation in the United Nations (as a non-voting member state).
Rome, Caput mundi (Capital of the world), la Città Eterna (The Eternal City), Limen Apostolorum (Threshold of the Apostles), la città dei sette colli (The city of the seven hills) or simply l'Urbe (The City), is thoroughly modern and cosmopolitan. As one of the few major European cities that escaped World War II relatively unscathed, central Rome remains essentially Renaissance and Baroque in character. The Historic Center of Rome is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

  • Rome the eternal city. There is a saying in italian. "Tutte le strade portano a Roma" (all roads leads to Rome). The ancient city, which is important for it's battles, ancient buildings and mainly for being the center of Catholic Church, for the presence of the Pope. JV

  • Actually, the Metropolitan City of Rome has a population of 4.5 million, while the actual municipality reaches 2,900,000 people in 2015.
  • The greatest metropolis among all European cities. The largest and the richest in terms of historic, architectural, archaeological, cultural and artistic heritage, the city of Rome contains more than one-sixth of the entire world's treasures (16.5% to be exact). This makes Rome the Mother Queen of all cities.
