Maranello steeds conquer the gates of Rome!

Ferrari Cavalcade 2015 in Rome

Rome, the Eternal City, built 753 BC ( before Christ), today more than 3.3 million occupants, the capital of two states - Italy, and the Vatican City. Terrific historical landmarks, like the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and the St.Peter's Basilica are just a few to name. St. Peter's Basilica is the largest Roman Catholic Church in the world.  Internally it is around 186 metres in the length and 136.50 metres from the ground to the cross on top of the dome. It took more than 120 years to build this incredible edifice, and in 1980, it was joined together with the Vatican City, and the old town of Rome, to UNESCO world cultural heritage. The magical  Italien atmosphere and appeal attracted many brilliant minds and philosophers like Aristotle. And Goethe spent a significant amount of time in Rome, albeit under a false identity, he assumed the role of a painter to experience the soul and the lightness of being an Italien from Rome. Another very famous place is the Trevi Fountain, a late baroque sculptured masterpiece by  Nicola Salvi, which was also the location for Federico Fellini's film "La Dolce Vita (1960)", where actress Anita Ekberg played a key scene amid the water of the fountain.
