There's one thing that I like about Rome that was stated by Napoleon: that from sublime to pathetic is only one step away. And in Rome there's a constant shifting between sublime and pathetic.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'Rome' plays on universal human emotions that hopefully people can relate to. Historians are always going to be offended by it.
The thing I love about Rome is that is has so many layers. In it, you can follow anything that interests you: town planning, architecture, churches or culture. It's a city rich in antiquity and early Christian treasures, and just endlessly fascinating. There's nowhere else like it.
Rome is one of my favourite cities in the world.
That Rome was comparatively great and wealthy is certain.
Rome is a city I love very much. I have lived there since I was a child.
Ancient Rome was as confident of the immutability of its world and the continual expansion and improvement of the human lot as we are today.
Rome is the city of echoes, the city of illusions, and the city of yearning.
I always thought 'Rome' would change things for me, that people would finally understand what I do.
I just love Rome. It really does cast a spell on you.
Rome has grown since its humble beginnings that it is now overwhelmed by its own greatness.
