Rome
The capital of Italy, Rome is one of the most visited cities in Europe and is at the heart of the country’s politics, housing the seat of the Italian Government, while also being a main hub for the Italian economy. The city plays host to the headquarters of many of Italy’s major companies and relies on an economy made up from high-technology, research, and banking.
The location
Situated in the Lazio region of central Italy, Rome was famously built on seven hills and benefits from a Mediterranean climate with hot ummers and cool winters.
The city is divided into 15 separate municipi (administrative areas) that surround the historic city centre.
