50 ~~~ Tivoli, near Rome, Italy ~ Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este ~~~ 18 "Two exceptional UNESCO World Heritage sites in Tivoli, near Rome, Italy: Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este. Hadrian's Villa (Villa Adriana), was a retreat for the Roman Emperor Hadrian. it "is an exceptional complex of classical buildings created in the 2nd century A.D. by the Roman emperor Hadrian. It combines the best elements of the architectural heritage of Egypt, Greece and Rome in the form of an 'ideal city'." (whc.unesco.org/en/list/907)The Villa d'Este "is one of the most remarkable and comprehensive illustrations of Renaissance culture at its most refined. Its innovative design along with the architectural components in the garden (fountains, ornamental basins, etc.) make this a unique example of an Italian 16th-century garden. The Villa d'Este, one of the first giardini delle meraviglie , was an early model for the development of European gardens." (whc.unesco.org/en/list/1025)Villa Gregoriana was commissioned by Pope Gregory XVI in 1835. It was submitted for consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site." www.youtube.com/watch?v=haioaXNLVE8 ~ 6:37

51 ~~~ Rome, Lazio, Italy ~ Vacation Travel Guide ~ Expedia ~~~ 64 " As legend has it, Rome, Italy, was founded by the twin brothers, Romulus and Remus, in 700 B.C. The former Caput Mundi, or Capital of the World, sits beneath Palatine Hill, where the ruins of its original incarnation are open for exploration.
No Rome tour is complete without stopping by the remains of the Temple of Saturn and Arch of Septimus, both located in the Roman Forum. Get in touch with your inner gladiator and stop by the Colosseum, a relic of Roman bloodsports and perhaps the most recognizable element of the city.
Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain to ensure you’ll return to Rome one day; don’t toss in two coins unless you’re ready to fall in love with a Roman. Continue your Rome sightseeing in St. Peter’s Square, home of St. Peter’s Basilica. The world’s largest church, designed by Michelangelo, is both a remarkable structure and a tribute to faith. You can look down from the famous dome to the Holy Square, which is usually filled with the faithful looking to obtain a blessing from the Pope. After this, it’s just a few steps to restaurants filled with Italian food. Forget coming back to Rome – you’ll never want to leave.
What’s your favorite memory of Rome?
