Things to do in Rome

Some sites near the Conference Centre which delegates may be interested in visiting.

With its fountains, palaces, obelisk, and Saint Agnes Church, the magnificence of Piazza Navona embraces those who arrive from all little streets and alleyways that surround it, offering a sight of one of the most "surprising effects" typical of Baroque architecture.

Pantheon

One of the most extraordinary monuments left from ancient Rome, the Pantheon is an unique place of charm. The rousing admiration of the temple throughout the centuries was so that Michelangelo decided to design the cupola of Saint Peter's a bit smaller than that of the Pantheon, in order to keep the Pantheon the first exceptional monument in Rome, constructed over 2000 years ago.

Fontana di Trevi

The most admired fountain in Rome is the grandiose eighteenth century Fountain of Trevi set in its little piazza, made unforgettable by Anita Ekberg in Fellini's film "La dolce vita". It is said that who throws a coin into it, is surely to return to Rome.

Piazza di Spagna
It is above all the renowned and impressive travertine flight of Steps of Trinità dei Monti the reason of the great popularity of Piazza di Spagna. But there are many more angles to be admired in this diversified piazza where precious monuments and well-known boutiques are also found
