At the corner of an alley, the hubbub of the crowd is getting louder. Then the majestic Pantheon in Rome appears. A former place of worship for the Roman gods, it is the best-preserved ancient Roman building that has survived to our day.
Rome is without a doubt one of the most famous capitals of antiquity. The capital of today has become a unique city thanks to its very long history, having fallen into disuse and being forgotten for centuries. T he last days of August do not seem to be synonymous with the end of summer. It is at sunset that Rome reveals all its secrets and the fiery light accentuates the details that make this city a unique architectural jewel. Then comes the moment when the shadows of the countless domes, churches and basilicas meet in the cloudless sky and start dancing together to create a unique shadow play. The Rome of the 21st century rubs shoulders with the Rome of antiquity with a gentle harmony. To the delight of tourists. It is 8pm. The sun is slowly descending on the…
The Roman Forum is the symbol of the Republic of Rome, the Pantheon its soul. Two representative places of this beautiful city of Rome that owe their preservation only to the chance of history. The visit of the Colosseum was the highlight of the guided tour. We continued our tour towards the very famous Roman Forum with our guide Giorgia Romanelli, where we met a lot of Indians selling mostly "selfie sticks" - the new fashion globalized by the smartphone - shouting "who wants selfies? Selfies. Selfies". It seems that they have succeeded in dethroning the Africans for the sale on the sly. The Roman Forum was the political heart of Rome, and the center of its gigantic republic, which ended in the first century BC to give way to the Empire. A center of power and decision making with…
The magnificence of the Roman Colosseum sits proudly in the ancient capital of the Roman Empire. Who would come to Rome without visiting the most famous monument of the city, and the symbol of an entire empire. H e is in the middle of the arena. All around him, the crowd of more than fifty thousand people in delirium has eyes and ears only for the spectacle. Some cheered and encouraged him, others booed him and demanded his death. Creatures that have not been seen for a long time (or ever) in these lands - bears, elephants and lions - or more common - bulls and boars - face him. The gladiator's life is at stake, which unfortunately also depends on the emperor's mood. All over the arena the crowd is jubilant, the people of Rome are feasting and wine is…
The snow-covered peaks of the Jungfraujoch are one of the favourite attractions for tourists visiting Switzerland. Snow, wind, sun and mountains all combine to make this an unforgettable adventure. I t is cold. As soon as we step outside, the icy air starts to make itself felt. The wind rushes through every little opening in your clothes until it freezes your soul. A badly put on T-shirt is not forgivable. A few more minutes are enough to numb the fingers, which must be constantly warmed up by frantically clapping. Even the jeans start to stiffen under the gusts of wind and a thin white film forms on all the clothes. There is no escape up there. The gusts of wind blow the snow away until it completely covers the surrounding peaks. It's like being in the middle of a snowstorm.…
