In this game of emotions we start from the core that is in your heart, symbol of heat, passion, feelings.

The heart of a country? Its centre, that is its capital: you can start from here and discover all what happened in the past, in these places, to those men that here lived. So to discover and love Italy, it goes without saying, we start our journey in Rome.

The Eternal city, where 16% of the artistic heritage of humanity is collected, has its own centre, from where simply turning around you can literally see History: this heart is the Capitol.
Now in front of you the Imperial Fora, the Markets of Trajan, the glorious epic of Rome from the Republic Age to the Great Empire and at the end of this street the Colosseum, symbol of its power where a thumb down could decide for life or death of a human life.
Turn your sight now and see the Capitol, with its Renaissance square designed by Michelangelo, when the town itself was a lively workshop of artisans, sculptors and artists.
Behind is the Ara Coeli, the Romanesque church where is housed the statue of Jesus Child, that still today receives letters of children from all around the world and reminds that Christianity walked its first steps from here, a religion that influenced the course of history during the last 2000 years as clearly shows at the horizon the imposing St. Peter’s dome. Turn again your sight and you will see the Grillo tower, hear the noise of traffic in Venice Square, framed by palaces with oriental influences and the outstanding Fatherland altar dedicated to the unknown soldier, built at the beginning of the XIX century, taking inspiration from the glorious past of Classic Architecture.
An innocent wandering from here to any direction discovering beyond this heart all the other Italian art-jewels.

Go southward and find Naples, with Pompeii and Herculaneum, you can plunge in the colours and in the life of the Roman Empire crystallized for ever on a day 2000 years ago. Go further southward and reach Sicily, where the ruins of temples and theaters are witness of the influence of Greek culture on Roman art, mixed with the precious baroque style of small cities.
