A Weekend In Rome
Whether Rome is or isn't one of your favorite cities in the world, or perhaps you have yet to visit this seemingly fine city (like us), Rome has always had a vital place in World History and has also served as an iconic backdrop to films such as "La Dolce Vita", and our favorite here at the offices, "Roman Holiday" starring Audrey Hepburn!
Rome offers us landmarks such as... "the Imperial Forum (one can still experience the glory of Ancient Rome), the Colosseum, the Fontana di Trevi (throw 3 coins), Via Veneto (home of the "Dolce Vita" in the 60s), Piazza Navona (its cafes and portrait painters), Piazza di Spagna (one must climb the steps), Via dei Condotti (Rome's answer to 5th Avenue), Piazza della Republicca, Il Vittorio & Piazza Venezia (the epicenter of it all), la Bocca della Verita, Castel St. Angelo, Porta Pinciana, Piazza dei Poppolo, and the Pantheon.
Built in Ancient Rome, the Pantheon served as a pagan temple and within time was used as a Catholic church and then as a memorial. Not only are its architecture and dome remarkable but also the fountain located in front of it on the Piazza that was designed by Giacomo della Porta is beautiful." -R.V.M.S
Above is a photo that apparently mixes the beauty of the Pantheon along with thee elegance of a gentleman in a dark suit.
