Founded by Pope Julius II in the early 16th century and enlarged by successive pontiffs, the Vatican Museums boast one of the world's greatest art collections. Exhibits, which are displayed along about 7km of halls and corridors, range from Egyptian mummies and Etruscan bronzes to ancient busts, old masters and modern paintings. Highlights include the spectacular collection of classical statuary in the Museo Pio-Clementino, a suite of rooms frescoed by Raphael, and the Michelangelo-painted Sistine Chapel.

There’s an atmosphere unique to the Jewish Ghetto, with its narrow lanes, famous yet unsigned bakeries, and small piazzas.
The historical, cultural and artistic heritage of Rome’s Jewish community is chronicled in this small but engrossing museum. Housed in the city’s early-20th-century synagogue, Europe’s second largest, its presents harrowing reminders of the hardships experienced by the city’s Jewry.
Although the area is very central - a few streets away from Piazza Venezia - it’s much more peaceful and calm than the surrounding streets, and is a splendid place to dine on Roman-Jewish cuisine.
,one of the most popular restaurant where you can eat Roman- Jewish specialities🍝🍷.

The official Mother’s Day holiday arose in the 1900s as a result of the efforts of Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis. Following her mother’s 1905 death, Anna Jarvis conceived of Mother’s Day as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children.
While versions of Mother’s Day are celebrated worldwide, traditions vary depending on the country.
How do you celebrate Mother’s Day?👩🏻🎉

Cardinal Scipione Borghese was an avid collector of ancient, Renaissance and Neoclassica art. He accomulated a substantial art collection and also commissioned sculptors such as Bernini and Cordier. Unfortunately, Camillo Borghese sold part of the collection to his brother-in-law Napoleon. These works are now exhibited in the Louvre.
If you have time, or inclination, for only one art gallery in Rome, make it this one. Housing the queen of all private art collections, it provides the perfect introduction to Renaissance and baroque art without ever being overwhelming. To limit numbers, visitors are admitted at two-hourly intervals, so you’ll need to call to prebook, and then enter at an allotted entry time, but trust us, it’s worth it.
You’ll need to book ahead but it’s worth it to see Bernini’s amazing sculptures, as well as works by Canova, Caravaggio, Raphael and Titian. And when you’ve finished, the surrounding Villa Borghese park is perfect to digest what you’ve just seen.

The church, which was built by the Jesuit architect Orazio Grassi in 1626, flanks Piazza di Sant’Ignazio, an exquisite square laid out in 1727 to resemble a stage set. Note the exists into “the wings” at the northern end and how the undulating surfaces create the illusion of a larger space.
Flanking a delightful rococo piazza, this important Jesuit church boasts a Carlo Maderno facade and a celebrated trompe l’œil ceiling fresco by Andrea Pozzo depicting St Ignatius Loyola being welcomed into paradise by Christ and Madonna.
For the best views of the fresco, stand on the small yellow spot on the nave floor and look up. The ceiling, which is absolutely flat, appears to curve. But walk a little further into the church and the carefully created perspective stops working, and the decaption becomes clearer.

On the 1st May, Labour Day, Italy dedicates a public holiday to its workers in celebration of the Festa dei Lavoratori.
Hundreds of thousands of fans troop to Piazza di San Giovanni in Laterano for Rome’s free May Day rock concert🤟🏼🎸. It’s a mostly Italian affair with big-name local performers but you might catch the occasional foreign guest star✨.

Following the route of the ancient Via Flaminia, the modern street runs in a straight line from Piazza del Popolo to Piazza Venezia. Its medieval name was Via Lata, but now it is named after the famous horse races🐎🐎 organised by Pope Paul II in the 15C.
Handsome Renaissance palaces line this busy thoroughfare. Nowadays “the Corso” is a shopping street👜💸.
This area is where people from overseas traditionally gathered. Indeed, before the railways extended to Rome, most travellers arrived southwards down the Via Cassia, crossing the Tiber over the Ponte Milvio to enter through the Porta del Popolo.

This late Reinassance work (1584) by Taddei Landini is probably from a design by Giacomo della Porta. Local legend tells how Duke Matteis, the owner of the neighbouring palace and an inverterate gambler, lost his fortune in one night. His prospective father-in-law advised him to look for another fiancée. To prove that a Matteo, even when ruined, could achieve wonders, he had the Turtle Fountain built in one night.
The focus of the fountain is four bronze boys, each grasping a dolphin🐬 spouting water into a marble shell. Bronze turtles🐢held in the boys’ hands drink from the upper basin.

Tanti auguri!🎉 April 21st is Rome’s birthday!🎂
In 2020, Rome is celebrating its 2773rd birthday - or the Natale di Roma in Italian.
Rome’s birthday is recognized as the day when Romulus founded the city in the year 753 BC.
So if you’ve been giving Rome some grief for not being 100% perfect, maybe consider cutting it some slack. The city is old.
Rome’s birthday is also not some modern guesswork. The Ancient Romans were absolutely convinced that Rome was founded on April 21st, 753 B.C. The day was also important in the Roman calendar because it was dedicated to Pales, goddess of the shepherds.
So how does one celebrate the Natale di Roma?
On April 21st, all the city museums are free - so that is a good place to start. That means even the Colosseum waives the entrance fee!
But the big show is the weekend, when a massive parade (complete with gladiators) will kick off at Circo Massimo, march past the Colosseum, and up Via dei Fori Imperiali, past the Vittoriano, before looping down towards where it all began at Circo Massimo.
Buon compleanno, Roma.😍
💫Long live the Eternal City.💫

In ancient times, the Campidoglio (Capitoline Hill) was home to Rome’s two most important temples. Today the main reason to make the short, steep climb to the top is to admire the views and visit the Capitoline Museums. The world’s oldest public museums, they harbour fantastic classical statuary, including the celebrated Lupa Capitolina (Capitoline Wolf), an icon of early Etruscan art, and some wonderful paintings.
Come face to with centuries of awe-inspiring art at the world’s oldest national museums, housed in twin palazzi (palaces) facing across Michelangelo’s piazza. The collection ranges from ancient sculpture, such as the emotive Dying Gaul, to Bernini’s frenetic Medusa, and upstairs is the masterpiece-filled Pinacoteca, with works by Caravaggio, Titian, Tintoretto, Reni, Van Dyck and Rubens.
Bring your camera 📷 for the masonry littered around the entrance courtyard.
