罗马是意大利的宝库，它胜过佛罗伦萨，也胜过威尼斯。这里到处都是两千多年来艺术成就的杰作–罗马共和国曾在这里的罗马论坛忙忙碌碌；几个世纪以后，米 开朗琪罗·博纳罗蒂在西斯廷教堂天花板上绘画；在现代，费代里科·费利尼在电影城摄影棚里拍摄了《甜蜜的生活》（又译《露滴牡丹开》）和《八又二分之一》 （又译《八部半》）。
More than Florence, more than Venice, Rome is Italy’s treasure trove, packed with masterpieces from more than two millennia of artistic achievement — for this is where Republican Rome once bustled around the buildings of the Roman Forum, centuries later Michelangelo Buonarroti painted the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, and in modern times, Federico Fellini filmed “La Dolce Vita” and “17/2″ at Cinecittà Studios.
