Rome, Italy Rome, historic city and capital of the province of Rome (province), of the region of Lazio (region) and of the country of Italy. Rome is located in the center of the Italian peninsula, on the Tiber River, about 24 km from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Once the capital of an ancient republic and empire whose armies and regimes shaped the Western world in antiquity and left seemingly indelible marks afterward, the spiritual headquarters physical and cultural capital of the Roman Catholic Church and the site of artistic and intellectual heights, Rome was the Eternal City, still today a political capital, religious center and memorial to the imagination. past creativity. The Roman countryside, Campagna, was one of the last regions of central Italy to be inhabited in antiquity.

 

Rome was built on a defensible hill that dominated the lower, high-banked final river, where crossing the Tiber was facilitated by an island in the middle. This hill, the Palatine Hill, is part of a group of hills, traditionally counted as seven, around which is the ancient city. The other hills are the Capitol, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian and Aventine. Rome’s hot, dry summer days, with highs often above 75°F (24°C), are often cooled in the afternoon by the pontino, a westerly wind that blows in from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The city receives about 30 inches (750 mm) of rainfall annually; Spring and autumn are the rainiest seasons. Frost and occasional light snow put an end to mild winters, when highs average above 10 °C (50 °F). Tramontana, a cold and dry wind from the north, frequents the city in winter.
