Rome
is located on the banks
of the Tiber, between
the Apennines and the
Tyrrhenian Sea. The
city was once the administrative
centre of the powerful
Roman Empire, a vast
region stretching from
Britain to Mesopotamia.
Today, it remains the
headquarters of the
Italian government and
home to many cabinet
ministers, but is replaced
by Milan in the industrial
north, for business
and finance. Tourism
is a major source of
income and visitors
come and go throughout
the year. The city has
a hot Mediterranean
climate, making Rome
particularly pleasant
to visit in the fall
and spring.
In August, it is hot
and humid and most people
head for the coast,
many shops and bars
close for summer holidays
and the streets are
strangely empty save
for visitors. Centro
Montemartini, Rome is
a very popular tourist
attraction in Rome.

paper, pencils and brushes and
