Rome is the capital of Italy and located in the Lazio region. The city has about 2.8 million inhabitants, the population of the metropolitan region is 3.7 million. The history of the city can be tasted in the many old buildings that the city possesses. Worth seeing are the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, St. Peter's Basilica, the Trevi Fountain and the Victor Emmanuel II Monument. Rome is just one big open-air museum. Throughout the history of more than 2700 years, the city developed into one of the most important cities of Western culture. Rome was the capital of the Roman Kingdom. Rome is located in the Lazio region in the middle of Italy. The city lies on the banks of the Tiber. The center is located on seven hills. In Rome you can not escape a comparison between the past and the present. The Quirinal Palace is a historic building in Rome, one of the three current official residences of the President of the Italian Republic. It has housed thirty Popes, four Kings of Italy and twelve presidents of the Italian Republic.

In the centre of Rome I Found seven statues while roaming the Salita di Montecavallo. A path which leads to the famous Piazza del Quirinale - the finest squares of Rome located on the Quirinale Hills, the highest of the seven hills of Rome. It's a statue of Gaius Caesar, grandson of Augustus who was the first Emperor of the Roman Empire.

Rome bevindt zich in de regio Lazio in het midden van Italië. De stad ligt aan de oevers van de Tiber. Het centrum bevindt zich op zeven heuvels. In Rome ontkom je niet aan een vergelijk tussen vroeger en nu. Tijdens onze wandeling door Rome kwamen we zeven beelden tegen terwijl we door de Salita di Montecavallo liepen. Een pad dat leidt naar het beroemde Piazza del Quirinale - één van de mooiste pleinen van Rome, gelegen op de Quirinale Hills, de hoogste van de zeven heuvels van Rome. Het is een standbeeld van Gaius Caesar, kleinzoon van Augustus, de eerste Keizer van Rome.
