Rome

Rome, the capital and most populous and extensive municipality in Italy, ranks among the major European capitals in terms of size of territory. It is the city with the highest concentration of historical and architectural heritage in the world; its historic center bounded by the perimeter of the Aurelian Walls, an overlay of evidence spanning almost three millennia, is an expression of the historical, artistic and cultural heritage of the Western European world and, in 1980, together with the extraterritorial properties of the Holy See in Vatican City and the basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Symbols of this magnificent city, in addition to the municipal coat of arms, are the Capitoline She-Wolf, a bronze statue depicting the legendary she-wolf who suckled the twins Romulus and Remus; the Colosseum, the largest amphitheater in the Roman world, recognized, in 2007, as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World (unique in Europe); and the Dome, the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, which dominates the entire city and symbolizes the Christian world.

The central and ancient core of the city consists of the historic seven hills: Palatine, Aventine, Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline and Caelian.

Tivoli

Ancient Tivoli, the one that Virgil mentioned in the Aeneid as Tibur Superbum, boasts an origin and history thousands of years older than that of Rome, tracing back roughly to 1215 B.C., when it was considered an important point of convergence between different peoples, as evidenced by the Sanctuary of Hercules the Victor, a sacred structure dating back to the second century B.C. and still visible today. Today, Tivoli's image is inextricably linked to the Albule Water Baths and the three magnificent villas that decorate it, the spectacular Villa d'Este and the archaeological Villa Adriana, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and the landscaped Villa Gregoriana managed by the Fai (Fondo Ambiente Italiano).
