Rome can never be seen slowly in the first hundred visits. There is too much, that Rome is too much of everything, that one runs the risk of losing. The center of the eternal city could and should be the center of the universe; It is as if someone had decided to leave there a little of everything. There is nothing more overwhelming than the center of Rome, -With permission from Florence and Venecia-; this is done on foot in the rush that gives the fear that those columns 2000 Years of history can finally get rid of a bad thunder. Rome is made of stone, Tile and wine. Rome sings at night its stanzas in Latin.
But out of all that universe that is the center of the Italian capital, there is another Rome that is unknown to tourists. Live at a lower rate, sometimes even the miracle of lack of noise occurs. Close, It can be conquered on foot and other times a car is necessary, Silently emerges next to the great Rome and becomes a whim, in beauty and rest. You know, These recommendations are for those who have already visited one hundred or thousand times Rome. It does, Rome is always visited for the first time:
–Colina Gianicolo: The so -called eighth hill of Rome, Above the popular struggle and leaving the Vatican to the left, offers a beautiful view of Rome. It was there where Garibaldi and his wife planted the French troops after declaring the Roman Republic and there are various sculptures in their honor. Fontana Dell Acqua Paola is a monumental marble fountain. Right where is the old academy of Spain are the best views.
–France Academy: Although it is in the center, The beautiful academy of France is sometimes forgotten even though it offers, From the other perspective to Gianicolo, some Unbeatable views of Rome. The city looks like a domes and roof canvas similar to how it should be in full Renaissance effervescence. I think it is the best place to contemplate and try to understand the grandiosity of the city.
-For lovers of strange and not far from the center, the Iglesia de Santa Maria della Concezione of the Capuchins, In the middle of the Veneto, He has a macabre osario that can be visited prior entry payment in his crypt. Addition, It allows to see the certain decline of the famous Via Veneto that in the middle of the last century housed the best hotels and restaurants in the city and its famous then Dolce Vita.
-Leaving the Vatican, First one can stand at the Burgundy Pio Romano. It is the neighborhood that is stuck to San Pedro, increasingly with more tourist offer, And that has excellent B&B. It is the place to find the best religious stores and some good restaurants between its narrow and cobbled streets. In any case, If they are still right on the right looking at San Pedro, They can arrive after a long walk or taking a bus (more recommended) the Italic forum. There is the Olympic stadium, La Farnesina (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) o El Ponte Milvio. It is a strange set, With clear influence of the constructions of the fascist era, interesting to walk.
-Those who want to verify that in Rome left a bit of everything from the beginning of man, You can also visit a neighborhood called Little London (Little London). It is more a small street that perfectly recreates the Londinense Nothing Hill.
-Even within the city, And that does the historic center, a recommendation to perhaps pay more attention even if they have already passed: The Jewish neighborhood or Jewish ghetto. They may pass by, But do it with time, Deténgane, contain, It is perhaps the most beautiful neighborhood in Rome. His story is sad and long until the fascist era of World War II. A ghetto to defend Christians and Hebrews one of the others, But its construction is old and delicate. There are wonderful views of the Marcelo Theater and has some of the most charming and romantic restaurants in the city.
-The next advice already needs a car, But enter that rural Rome that nobody sees. The so -called Castelli Romani are a group of villages southeast of Rome, About the Albana hills and around Lagos Nemi and Albano. The most famous of the localities is Castel Gandolfo, Pope's rest residence. Just at the door of the papal palace is the restoring cances. Has beautiful views, You can eat well, but, especially, It has an ancient and huge warehouse full of passengers and ancient gadgets that is a hidden museum. Then, They can also visit the lovely, coqueto and small town of Sought. Try your famous strawberries.
– Finally, And this time direction to the north, about 40 km, is the town of trashed. It is an old city, of Tuscan air, which retains its important historical heritage with a certain artistic air. When the people died of oblivion, They were them, The artists, Those who occupied everything and began to rebuild old hamlets, gardens, Facades…
And finally, Although they have already gone a thousand times, There are always to return a thousand. One arrives wondering if it will be how the last time. Wait for the long entrance tail. Look at habits and listen to the feast of languages. It is placed in front. Same as all the previous times. Sight, Observe and certify again, With an interior triumph smile, that marble can live and die. It is in front, Miguel Ángel's piety. There you must always go.
