🇮🇹 Rome: A Timeless Must-Visit

By early June, Rome was already hot enough to need AC for sleep 🥵. From its humble beginnings on the Tiber's banks to ruling the Mediterranean, 2,000 years of history whisper through its weathered stones. Yes, Rome is old and chaotic—crowded, crumbling, and under endless restoration (thanks, Jubilee Year digs! 🚧)—but one glance at its open-air museum streets, and you’ll forgive the mess. 🏛️ History at Every Turn Largo di Torre Argentina: Where Caesar was stabbed—now a sanctuary for stray cats 🐈⬛. (Even Rome can’t preserve all its ruins!) Churches galore: Got caught in a sudden rain? Dash into any gold-drenched basilica ☔⛪—thanks to Emperor Constantine making Christianity the state religion. Colosseum at dusk: As street musicians strum, the arena’s bloody past dissolves into golden calm. 🎻 Moments That Haunt You Kids playing violin under the Arch of Constantine—a monument to war, now framing peaceful joy. Standing there, you’ll feel centuries brush past your shoulders. #RomeNeverGetsOld #EternalCity #TravelDeep
