Rome is the Eternal City, where history and great art come alive on the streets. There is the Vatican Palace, with its masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael; the Pieta, Bernini fountains, and the Renaissance architecture of St. Peter's Basilica; and archeological sites where ancient cultures are uncovered. Today Rome is a vital European center for religion, business, film, art and fashion, and home to one of the largest university student populations in the world.
The neighborhood of Trastevere, the location of John Cabot University, is quiet and friendly, yet exciting discoveries are around each corner. A thriving community of musicians and artists, Trastevere's gardens and cafes, parks and family businesses give way to the grander scale of the palaces, churches and fountains of Rome. |
