“Everyone soon or late comes round by Rome”

-Robert Browning, The Ring and The Book

The 'Eternal City', is the capital and largest city of Italy and of the Lazio (Latium) Region: it's the famed city of the Roman Empire, the Seven Hills, La Dolce Vita, the centre of Christianity, with its umbilicus in the world smallest State and a city-in-the-city, the Vatican, and Three Coins in the Fountain (and much more).
