ROME AND THE SABINA
Rome, the capital of Italy, is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Its historic center is among the 55 Italian sites included by UNESCO in the World Heritage List. Legend has it that Rome was founded in 753 BC by two brothers, Romulus and Remus, who were suckled by the famous She-wolf, which has become an iconic symbol of the Capital, together with one of its most important monuments, the Colosseum. But it is history that made Rome great: first as the center of the Roman Republic, then as the hub of political and cultural life of the Empire, and, in the 4th century, as the capital of the Christian world.
