Piazza Venezia
It is the Rome city center. Here it is
possible to discover the various
influences Rome underwent during the ages,
between the original Rome and the city of
the Popes. It is the first square of Rome
as a capital city, the first square where
the gas illumination was experimented and
the first square served by a horse omnibus
service, "the very first public
service that can be compared to the
limousine, car hire". The square was
remodelled at the beginning of the XX
century to receive the
"Vittoriano" monument. The name
of the square comes from Palazzo Venezia,
which was the first lodging for the San
Marco basilica Cardinals.
The Colosseum
It is the most famous of the Rome
monuments, an arena where the Romans used
to organize competition that often had
cruel implications. It has been built by
Vespasiano over an artificial lake on 79
a.d. and it was inaugurated by Tito for
100 days of sport and games. The Colosseum
façade is 50 meters tall, while the arena
has 86 metres of length and 54 meters of
width. Close to the Colosseum, there are
the Constantine Arch and the Domus Aurea,
which is the residential area Nerone
created after the 64 a.d. fire. Via
Vittorio Veneto is one of the symbols of
Rome, where all the customers of our limos
car hire with drivers want to go shopping.
Via Vittorio Veneto
It is the symbol of roman “dolce vita”
(sweet life) that characterized the city
during the 60's, thanks to its luxury
hotels and some historical cafè and
restaurants.
Piazza di Spagna
It dates back to 1502, when the French
church of Trinità dei Monti was built. In
1700 Piazza di Spagna was put into
communication with the church through a
big stair. The well-known flight of steps
of Piazza di Spagna is an open air
theatre.
Trevi Fountain
The project of this fountain is a Nicola
Salvi's one, and the theme that it wants
to represent is the sea. It is possible to
see a shell shaped carriage hauled by sea
horses that are preceded by tritons and by
the great statue of Oceano. The fountain
is the example of Baroque sculpture and
architecture.
Piazza Navona,
During the ancient times of Rome this
square used to have a stadium 276 metres
long and 54 meter large. It was built by
Domiziano and restored by Alessandro
Severo. Piazza Navona is today the most
distinctive of the Rome's squares thanks
to the wide pedestrian precinct and to the
three fountains. The central one is called
fontana dei Fiumi.
Castel S. Angelo,
Its construction begun on 123 a.d.
following Emperor Adriano's will. This
construction at the beginning was used as
the mausoleum of the Emperor's family, but
then under the Aurelian Empire it became a
fortified outpost, with the construction
of thick walls an of few towers. Inside
the castle it is possible to visit the
pottery museum, the ancient weapons
museum, as well as Renaissance furnishings
and paintings.
San Pietro Basilica,
It is the Pontiff seat and a real nation
inside Rome. Its inner part is charming,
where countless paintings and pieces of
art of the most well-known artists can be
looked at by the tourist. Inside a stately
colonnade created by the architect Bernini
seems to embrace the basilica. Hundreds of
thousands of parishioners and simple
tourists pay their visit everyday to this
sacred place.
