Italy information
Rome, the capital of Italy, is a vast cosmopolitan city that has almost 3,000 years of art, architecture and culture of worldwide influence in its sights. A heady mix of haunting ruins, awe-inspiring art and vibrant street life, Italy’s hot-blooded capital is one of the world’s most romantic and charismatic cities. Ancient sites such as the Forum and the Colosseum evoke the power of the ancient Roman Empire. Vatican City, the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, features St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums, which house masterpieces such as Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes.
More about Italy
Rome has more fountains than any other city on the planet. Alongside historical monuments, the city has well over 2,000 fountains in varying forms and sizes, some of which you can even drink from. It’s technically the capital of 2 countries. While mainly known as the capital of Italy, Rome also has the smaller independent city-state of Vatican City within its borders. For the sake of tradition, almost every visitor to the Trevi Fountain chucks in three coins. On average, around €3,000 worth of coins are vacuumed out of it at the end of each day (totalling around €1.4m, annually). The government directs the funds towards charities.
