Italy is easily included in a list of the three most beautiful countries, due to its diverse landscapes of fields, lakes and mountains and its cities full of history and religiosity, with classical architecture predominating.

Its capital, "Vecchia Roma", is its greatest example, founded in 753 BC and today with almost 3 million inhabitants, it is one of the most important cities in the history of humanity.

The list of attractive spots to photograph is long, and this was my selection, without wanting to diminish the value of the others:

- The National Monument to Vittorio Emanuelle II, the first king of unified Italy, from 1935, in white marble in Piazza Venezia.

- The Ponte Vittorio Emanuelle II, or Ponte Vittorio, one of the bridges over the Tiber River, opened in 1911, another important tribute to this king, considered the father of the country.

- St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, the largest and most important religious building in Catholicism and one of the most visited Christian sites in the world, completed in 1626.

- Castel Sant'Angelo, built on the ruins of Emperor Hadrian's Mausoleum from the year 135, was once a military building and is now a museum open to visitors.
At its top, the statue of the Archangel Saint Michael symbolizes the end of the plague epidemic that devastated Rome in the year 590.
Its circular shape makes for beautiful images, whether opposite the Ponte Vittorio or the Ponte de Sant'Angelo, crossing the Tiber in front of its main gate.

- The spiral staircase of the Vatican Museum, always very congested during visiting hours, seen from below to escape the crowds of people.

- The Roman Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls is among the most beautiful in the city and is the second largest after Saint Peter's Basilica. It is located 2 km outside the Aurelian Walls of Porta São Paulo. Under the main altar, the papal altar, is the tomb of the Saint. Its huge alabaster columns and golden mosaics are impressive!

- One of the graffiti trains on line B of the metro, the oldest and integrated with two others with a total length of 60 km, one of the smallest in large cities. Excavations in Rome are complicated due to the archaeological wealth hidden underground.

- Villa Borghese Park, from 1903, is one of the largest public parks in Europe, covering 80 hectares. It houses many enclosures as well as a zoo and the Galleria Borghese, the main building, with several works by the sculptor Bernini. Among its monuments, I was attracted to the Templo di Antonino e Faustina, in its false and decorative version of the original in the Roman Forum, but very photogenic.

- Spanish Square (Piazza di Spagna), is one of the most vibrant places in the city, with its staircase that leads to the Trinità dei Monti church, as well as the Barcaccia fountain, sculpted by Pietro Bernini.

- The majestic Trevi Fountain inspires dreams and renews hope in all its visitors, even the most skeptical. It was designed by architect Nicola Salvi, is 26 m high and 49 m wide, and was completed in 1761. It is confined in a small space between buildings, in addition to being visited by many people from dawn until dawn, which makes it very difficult the task of the most perfectionist photographers.

- Finally, the greatest identity of this beautiful city, the Coliseum, also called Flavian Amphitheater because of the emperors of the Flavian dynasty involved in its construction: started by Vespasian in 72 AD, completed by Titus in 80 and modified by Domitian during his rule between 81 and 96 AD.
It could house between 50,000 and 80,000 people and throughout its history it was used for various purposes, such as gladiatorial combats, executions, battle reenactments and dramas from classical mythology. After the medieval era, it lost its entertainment characteristics and was used as housing, fortress and religious headquarters, among other purposes.
Despite being partially destroyed by looting and earthquakes, it is still the great symbol of Imperial Rome and one of the biggest landmarks in world tourism.
