Sumptuous Wedding Villa in Rome

The origins of Rome are wrapped in the fable of Romulus and Remus, twin sons of the god Mars, both abandoned on the flooding river and left by the receding waters at the foot of the Palatine Hill. Suckled by a she-wolf, they were then raised by a shepherd and grew up to be the founding fathers of Rome. The Roman countryside, the campagna, was one of the last areas of central Italy to be settled in antiquity. In search of protection, Rome was built on a hill that dominated the river Tiber, soon becaming the capital of an ancient republic and empire, leaving indelible imprints on the ancient Western world with unbeatable armies and imperious policies. 

The eternal city is the spiritual and physical headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church and the home of major artistic and intellectual pinnacles. Divided into 22 districts called rioni and circled by 35 boroughs, Rome's fate took a turn for the worse and from controlling the destiny of all civilization known to Europe, it tragically fell into disrepair by the late Middle Ages, nevertheless keeping its power over the world, as an idea of absolute power. The Renaissance was a turning point and a new golden era, from which we are left with thousands of meaningful artistic manifestations. The city came back with the teacher and builder spirit it had been known for.
