Rome, the Eternal young city

Rome , the eternal city, does not hide its fabulous beauty.

In exhibiting its fairness generously, Rome bewitches visitors with the unmatched fascination of its light, its colours and entranced atmospheres, alluring new-comers to stay on and enjoy all this magnificence to the full.

Rome offers an artistic and cultural landscape of unequalled vastness, variety and importance.
Invaluable “treasures”stored in the city’s numerous museums, richly endowed galleries, grand historic palaces, exhibition centers and superb archeological areas, are among the reasons why Rome shines like a breath-taking star in the celestial vault of the cities of art.

During the last years a great deal of work has been done to enhance this immense wealth. New and appropriate room for exhibitions has been created, and visiting time extended. This allows the public to have access to places that had been closed-down for years. A great deal more is still being done in order to unearth precious remains, buried or hidden under the stratification of history.

So far, only archeologists or researchers in general could see these discoveries. Rome has by far not yet ceased to amaze and the future undoubtedly has great
suprises in store. The APT-Office of Rome’s Municipality edited the present exhaustive and complete guide to be distributed gratuitously. Its practical shape as a handbook is meant to facilitate consultation concerning the city’s overall cultural offer.

Beside the most celebrated museums and monuments, less well known places are mentioned
here, but all of them artistically and historically interesting. Unexpected and genuine
oddities, also, will surprise and amuse the visitors.
I post this as a cordial invitation to discover the “Treasures of Rome”.
