The Ministry figures are clear: every day, about thirty thousand tourists and visitors arrive in the Eternal City and walk along the richest seven kilometres of art, culture and history they will ever see – the Musei Vaticani, famous all over the world for their prestige and power.
Visiting the Giardino di Ninfa is a wonderful experience. This natural monument is situated in Cisterna di Latina, exactly where the ancient medieval city Ninfa was situated. It is a beautiful British garden of 8 hectares, made by Gelasio Caetani, in 1921.
From the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano you arrive to a cloister built by the Vassalletto, one of the most important families of architects and sculptors in Rome. Pietro Vassalletto started the work in 1222, almost at the end of Innocenzo III pontificate.
Rome 2000 years ago, with its great social differences, highlighted by some disreputable districts. The most dangerous certainly was the "Suburra", a group of "insulae" (3-5 floors houses of the peasants), populated by thieves, criminals, prostitutes and any kind of bad people.
If you are walking around Rome, you can't miss Piazza del Popolo, one of the most loved by Roman people and tourists.
