Explore the history and culture of Rome, the 'Eternal City', with the author, an Italian writer.
This will be a special Roman cultural tour that explores the unique romance and charm of Rome.

Rome is a city full of wonder and fascination.
Before being drawn to the beauty of detail, let us look at the entire era piled up high.
Leaving the crowded streets behind, we climb the hill.
When you finally stand on the Capitoline Hill, which was once a sacred place, you will feel the winds of ancient and modern times swirling through your bones.

When a traveler passes through the landscape of Campania Romana and crosses the Milvian Bridge, he will be reminded of the story of Emperor Maxentius (312 AD), who was defeated in battle and eventually swept away by the river and lost his life.
After that, Emperor Constantine recognized Christianity.
Travelers crossing the Milvian Bridge reach the city gate (now the Porta del Popolo) via the straight Via Flaminia (now the Flaminia Street).
Many travelers, including Lorrain, Poussin, Goethe, Stendhal, and Andersen, entered the 'Eternal City' from here.

The walls of Emperor Aurelian played a crucial role in protecting Rome's history for nearly 2,000 years.
Indeed, in this day and age, there is probably no structure more conservative than a city wall.
The walls, once the scene of a bloody war, stand before us as if they were witnesses to the passage of time.
But it's not just the walls.
Many people also shed blood in the streets and squares inside the city walls.
Walking down the streets of Rome, I unconsciously recall the traces of blood seeping between the cobblestones, along with memories of history that come back to me.
