Planning an Itinerary to Rome can be difficult if you are unsure of what to visit: sometimes it’s better to take a Rome Tour. This article gives some insight to some must places of the Eternal City.
Must see places in Rome:
Piazza di Spagna
The most elegant and discrete of Roman piazzas, exceptional scenario for fashion shows and a traditional meeting place for Romans and foreigners. The Fontana della Barcaccia, at the centre, tells a long story of flooding from the Tiber in the city.
Piazza Navona
From the Stadium of the Emperor Domiziano to the drawing room of Baroque Rome, passing on to the sacrifice of the young martyr Agnese, celebrated in thesplendid church that faces the piazza.
San Pietro in Vincoli
The statue of Moses, sculpted by Michelangelo with great verisimilitude and power to provoke its author to throw down his chisel crying “why don’t you speak?”. Among history and legend, the tale of a monument which was never finished but also very much re-touched by artists through the years.
Santa Maria in Trastevere
You don’t know Rome if you haven’t seen Santa Maria in Trastevere. Here one seems still to breathe the atmosphere of a time gone by, among artistic testimonies and dialectial inflexions.
