Roma y Ciudad del Vaticano

Unlike other cities with ancestry, Rome has a peculiar historical center. More than a precise area, one can speak of several nuclei, each of which is explained by its own historical and cultural, urban and social motivation. The first of all, the Campidoglio, rises above the esplanade of the Roman Forum, where for more than 1,200 years the destinies of the kingdom, the republic and the empire were decided. After the decline of Roman power, it was here that, in the late Middle Ages, the civic pulse of Rome began to beat again. However, the religious power, over the centuries, would transfer from the Lateran to Saint Peter and the Vatican. Rome is a city accustomed to immigration: it has been that way since the time of the Caesars and until the years when it became the capital of Italy, when its size grew enormously. Things are not very different today, as statistics show that at least one in ten Romans comes from another country. As proof of the importance of diversity in the history of Rome, the Jewish ghetto, indelible memory of a different religious and cultural presence, deepens its roots in the fabric of the city.
