I like to provide an international touch to my projects based on my business, writing and film background.
I am focused on understanding what is going on worldwide and try to communicate it to people that would like to share it with me.

The eternal city is truly such. The almost 3000-year capital of Italy is an extraordinary sample of architecture and art. As there are several cities older in the world, Rome however is the only place where it's possible to see samples of architecture as they developed throughout the centuries. The sites to visit are really many, so let's focus on a few ones, to point out at least the "must see" spots. The Roman Forum with the Coliseum and the Arc of Triumph: It's a unique walk into the heart of the Imperial city, just walking down the streets it's possible to feel the emperors and philosophers walking by. The Pantheon: the oldest building in Rome, famous for its hole in the ceiling. Go there when it rains, and you will notice that miraculously the water doesn't get in. Piazza Navona: the former pool stadium that Romans used for ship racing. Toady is one of the finest squares in the world. Artists hang out there giving a tremendous touch to atmosphere. The Spanish Steps and its extraordinary shopping area: where the pleasure of shopping merge with the art and the classical streets. Vatican City: the smallest country in the world, located in the middle of the city, including the rich Vatican Museum, St. Peter Cathedral and the Sistine Chapel, that are worth the entire trip to Rome. If you have a few more days to spare, then take a walk in the beautiful Villa Borghese park and spend a unique evening in the traditional quarters of Trastevere o Testaccio, where you can find some great trattorias and clubs.
