Roman Holiday
Consider Italy your next destination! This video shows a sneak peek into Rome... The Italian peninsula has witnessed the rise and fall of countless empires, from prehistory to the Etruscans to the mighty Roman Empire. All roads lead to Rome, as the saying goes, and in the ancient world, it was a fact. Visitors can now follow the footsteps of Julius Caesar in the Forum Romanum, walk along the famous Appian Way, and gaze up at the oculus in the Pantheon. Rome’s legendary status doesn’t end in ancient times; you’ll find the grandest expression of the Baroque era in Trevi Fountain, and a colossal example of 20th century neoclassicism in the Monument of Vittorio Emanuele II. The Italian Renaissance emerged in Florence and brought about more than 300 years of cultural transformation and artistic achievement across Europe.
