Things to do in Rome

Below are some sites near the Conference Centre which delegates may be interested in visiting:

Piazza Navona

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 beautiful examples of typical Baroque architecture.

Pantheon

One of the most extraordinary monuments left from ancient Rome, the Pantheon is a unique place of charm. The admiration of the temple throughout the centuries was so great that Michelangelo decided to design the cupola of Saint Peter's a little 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 whoever throws a coin into it is sure to return to Rome.

Piazza di Spagna

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