I visited Rome for six days in July, 2000 – year of the Jubileé – and it was an unique experience. Rome suprised me, because it´s a fascinating city, with an incredible mixture of magnificient and ancient monuments, and one of the most noisy and chaotic capital of the world.-
I felt very comfortable in this city, maybe because argentinian peope are similar to italians people.-
In this page I´ll try to write about my feelings about this city*.-

Visité Roma durante seis días en Julio de 2.000 - año del Jubileo - y fue una experiencia única. Roma me shockeo, porque es una ciudad fascinante, con una increible mezcla de edificios magníficos, propios de la antiguedad, con una de las ciudades más bulliciosas y caóticas del mundo - o por lo menos de las que yo conozco -. El centro histórico de Roma es una obra maestra de arte, que nadie debería dejar de conocer.-
Me sentí super comoda en esta ciudad, tal vez porque los argentinos somos bastantes parecidos a los italianos en nuestra forma de ser y porque la mayoría somos descendientes - por alguna rama - de italianos.-
En esta página intentaré contarles mis vivencias sobre cada lugar que visité para darles una idea de lo que Roma produjo en mí*.-

Pros and Cons

Pros:Es una obra de arte en cada esquina
Cons:El tránsito es caótico
