Dear visitor, Welcome to aboutrome.com
This is a non-commercial website, it is a sort of online guidebook on the city of Rome, Caput mundi! This is the only online guide of its kind giving historical and practical information available, as well as information on accommodation and the sights.

Rome, the “eternal city”, is so called because it is a place of great beauty, contrast and life. Rome is an ecletic city: the religious world centre of Catholic Church, the fabulous ruins of the centre of the Roman Empire, and modern, bustling Rome.

Everything is on a massive scale, solid and “eternal”.
