The charm of Venice is complemented by the sheer grandeur of Rome. The Italian capital was, for many centuries, the capital of the Western world; the home of emperors and gladiators, saints and sinners, a succession of popes and a host of artists. Their stories live on in this endless, fascinating metropolis.
