Starting off from Piazza Venezia,
we can climb the steps that lead us
to the top of Capitol Hill,
one of the famous seven hills.
It was the political
and religious center of ancient Rome. It's
today the seat of the City Hall. The square
was laid out by Michelangelo in 16th century.
A walk down the hill takes us to the Forum.
It was the most important square of Ancient
Rome used as daily market place and meeting-point.
Around this square, the Romans constructed the most
important buildings, temples and palaces as the Roman
Senate where the senators met and decided
the destiny of the known world. We can walk
along the Victory's road in the Forum that
allows us to see the most important sights
and ends in front of the Colosseum.
The symbol of the power of Roman Empire.
