My Italian vacation is hard to describe coherently, it’s rather a terrific mix of the fragments in my mind. Sun, smiles, wines, crowds of tourists, cozy yards, pompous museums, and, of course, Coliseum – put them together and you will have the almost full picture of Rome.
It goes without saying that the most important element of the country is people. There is a great deal of stereotypes we know about Italians. They seem to be bustling, talkative and full of beans, according to the images made up by the films, novels and essay writing, and this is nothing but truth. But there is one more significant feature I found about them: Italians are extremely friendly and easy-going. Be sure that even in the smallest café you’ll meet a shining smile, and each passer-by will help you get your bearings. The domestic atmosphere they managed to create makes you love every moment of being there.
Rome is full of places worth looking at, and you will never lack things to admire. What impressed me most is the intricate architecture (Picture 1), picturesque squares (Italians call them piazza) (Picture 2), and, of course, the Coliseum (Picture 3). It’s great to look at the two-thousand-year-old building which, however, is still spectacular and impressive. I recommend you to refresh your historical knowledge before visiting it. I don’t mean special research papers writing; a tourist booklet will be enough to help you appreciate its historical and cultural value. The queues everywhere are no less impressive, though. But Rome is worth this little prey.
