Quanto sei bella Roma quando é sera, quando la luna se specchia dentro al fontanone e le coppiette se ne vanno via, quanto sei bella Roma quando piove.

Antonello Venditti, the famous roman singer, with his song Roma Capoccia has created a generational hymn to describe the majesty of a uniqueness and unattainable city like Rome.



These are the sensations that you feel walking in Rome, crossing the streets at sunset getting lost among the artistic beauties and the history that surrounds every corner and makes it infinite thinking about that two thousand years ago here there was a civil society that would have improved the whole world and that still today their immense works are tangible and remained intact despite so many years have passed.



There are absolutely things to do in Rome to be able to fully grasp the emotions of his Great Beauty described in full in the wonderful Oscar-winning film by the Neapolitan director Paolo Sorrentino assisted by the great actor Tony Servillo.
