Rome
Rome
is an open-air museum. There is so much
to write about Rome, but the best way to
know it is visiting it and above all feeling
its atmosphere. It shows its best in spring
and autumn, above all at the sunset, when
the sky is clear. Legend has it that Rome
was founded on April 21 in 753 b.C. by Romulus
and Remus. It is evident how the Romans'
genius succeeded in moulding environment,
creating magic atmospheres in which art
and nature merge wonderfully.
And how centuries-old experience shaped
the Romans' character: vivacious and cheerful,
but also disenchanted towards power they
have been familiar with for a long time.
