Documentary about the city of Rome.

Documentary about Rome in 4K. Rome is the city with the highest concentration of historical and architectural heritage in the world; its historic center, bounded by the perimeter of the Aurelian Walls, a superposition of testimonies spanning nearly three millennia, is an expression of the historical, artistic, and cultural heritage of Western Europe. In 1980, along with the extraterritorial properties of the Holy See in the city and the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Symbols of this magnificent city, in addition to the municipal coat of arms, include the Capitoline Wolf, a bronze statue depicting the legendary she-wolf that suckled the twins Romulus and Remus; the Colosseum, the largest amphitheater in the Roman world, recognized in 2007 as one of the seven wonders of the modern world (the only one in Europe); and the Cupolone, the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, which dominates the entire city and symbolizes the Christian world. According to tradition, Rome was built on seven hills, the exact identity of which is lost in the history of the city's origins, still leaving historians in doubt. The ancient core of the city consists of the seven historic hills: Palatine, Aventine, Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, and Caelian. Legend has it that Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus, the twin sons of Rhea Silvia and the god Mars, who were abandoned and nursed by a she-wolf and eventually adopted by the shepherd Faustulus and his wife Acca Larentia. Once grown, the twins decided to found a city: to determine who should rule, they relied on the will of the gods, through the flight of augural birds. From the Aventine, Remus saw six vultures, while Romulus, from the Palatine, spotted twelve, becoming the first King of Rome in 753 BC. From the Palatine, the city would have spread across the seven hills we all know: Palatine, Aventine, Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, and Caelian. The blond Tiber This was the name given to the river god in the poetic works of ancient Rome, a god to whom respect and love were owed. But the Tiber was above all a true "road on the water," along which large ports developed since Roman times, finally demolished in the second half of the 19th century with the construction of the walls to free the city from constant flooding. Nowadays, that direct contact with the river has long been lost: however, love and respect remain, as does the awareness of its fundamental role in the birth and development of the city. Not to mention the incredibly beautiful views it offers us from its many historic bridges, such as Ponte Sisto, Ponte Sant'Angelo, and Ponte Fabricio. Rome's Cultural and Historical Heritage Rome's grandiose monuments, hundreds of churches, and spectacular fountains define its magnificent skyline and make it the city with the highest concentration of historical, archaeological, and architectural heritage in the world, with over 16% of the world's cultural heritage and 70% of Italy's. Its historic center, bounded by the perimeter of the Aurelian Walls, is a juxtaposition of testimonies spanning nearly three millennia: in 1980, along with the Holy See's extraterritorial properties in the city and the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The heart of Catholic Christianity, Rome is the only city in the world to host a foreign state within its borders, the enclave of the Vatican City: for this reason, it is often called the "Capital of Two States."
