Rome (Italy)
Rome is the capital city of Italy, an overcrowded town who is among the biggest European capital cities. This city is also well known as the Eternal City.
Italy is the city with the highest demonstration of historical and architectural possessions of the world; his historical centre delimited for the perimeter marked by Aurelian walls. Rome has got Mediterranean climate, a worn climate of halves latitudes, hot summers and a slow climate on spring and autumn.
In Rome, there are good people through of quality life, but the city shows some weak points as air and acoustics pollution caused by they used so much private transport, municipal services... Rome is unique in having a sovereign state located entirely within its city limits, the Vatican City. The Vatican is an enclave of Rome and a sovereign possession of the Holy See, the supreme government of the Roman Catholic Church. Rome hosts foreign embassies to both Italy and the Holy See, although frequently the same ambassador is accredited to both.
Rome hosted the 1960 Summer Olympics, with great success, using many ancient sites such as the Villa Borghese and the Thermae of Caracalla as venues. For the Olympic Games many new structures were created, notably the new large Olympic Stadium (which was also enlarged and renewed to host qualification and the final match of the 1990 FIFA World Cup), the Villaggio Olympic. Rome is currently bidding to host the 2020 Summer Olympics.
About 10 million tourists come to enjoy Rome every year. We have to keep warm before our arrival for no fall ill. I hope you like this beautiful cities as other ones.
