See the testimonies of ancient Rome today take it for granted as if that civilization is there and could not be otherwise. If we learn to see Rome with astonished eyes and the curiosity to learn and know the story would have the same reaction that Goethe, in his Travels in Italy, he discovered a land that you love, a land full of history, nature, folklore, of modernity, of taste and beauty. Then, look at Rome with those eyes, savor it really means and means to be of real travelers.
We could list the many symbols of Rome: the Colosseum, the Are Paces, Piazza San Pietro , Piazza Venezia, Trastevere, Piazza di Spagna , Piazza Navona and we would not have ended up in a day to be here to write, but we could , even better, really live and discover this multi-faceted city : the city that haughty rises above our eyes boasting history and art, but also the one that makes itself known in a county with humility and that instead , with elegance and beauty, also a bit ' vain is revealed in the evening with the moon and the stars that light up.
Many writers have written that Rome is a beautiful woman, with all its strengths and weaknesses but remains the city's most fascinating of all. Take a trip to Rome and decide to stay at a bed and breakfast in Rome is just the traveler who wants to know the city through the eyes of the Romans, as well as take a trip to Italy from north to south in B & B means discovering all locations using the filter of those who really live the city every day. A trip to B & B is not for tourist but for travelers.
Discovering Rome by travelers says about vices and virtues, and there is nothing more beautiful
Visit Rome, the View of The Dome of St. Peter's Basilica
The view from the dome of St. Peter's Basilica is crazy, will leave you breathless, Rome from above looks like a huge puzzle, a real mosaic of many colors. The front view from the dome of St. Peter's offers you the vision of one of the most famous streets in Rome, Via della Conciliation and all its beauty.
Straight ahead you will find the outline of Castel Sant'Angelo (among other things from this building you can enjoy another beautiful view), then you can frame the Altar of the Nation, with a little 'effort will also see the dome of the Pantheon set against the graceful Campania beds of St. Agnes in Agony.
I recommend you remember to potarvi the camera, to capture these wonderful landscapes that you can only see the top of this dome. Behind you are quite another Rome, monuments poor but definitely full of greenery, at least that has been granted.

Rome and The Sublimation of Beauty
Solar and destructive at the same time, sophisticated and vulgar, caput mundi and borgatara, Rome welcomes its contradictions, its myths and simulacra. "A city which you have to get lost to find yourself better." And in Rome the privileged place in which to lose are the squares, magnet of urban life, the point at which they cancel social inequalities mirror that reflects the soul of the city.
For this reason if the trip to Rome is dealt with in an economical way and then you start with very little money, everything is sublimated by her beauty, as our title says, even eating a sandwich on the steps of Spanish steps has the flavor a gala dinner in a chic restaurant, stay in Rome in one of the hostels, can have the taste to stay in an aristocratic villa. And 'that's the true power and charm of Rome!
In the words of the writer Curves: "The squares of Rome overflow, sometimes, bad taste and yet they are beautiful in a sublime way. Take a good, long look at Piazza del Popolo, but not fix your gaze on anything, turn it all around and soon you'll be in ecstasy...
