"Little stories behind big events in history...." Rome by belgianchocolate


Rome Travel Guide: 13,939 reviews and 24,429 photos



I enjoyed Rome a lot...
I had great fun reading about this city
in advance and even afterwards...

Building a page on Rome?
It wasn't on my mind.
That would be tip 300 on the Trevi-fountain.
And page 574 with the same tips.....


I changed my mind.
There are so many interesting stories
I ran into. I wanted to find more.
And yes , this page isn't finished.
It is only a modest attempt to try
to reveil some of Rome's
fascinating history
that even continues today.

Pros and Cons
  • Cons:This page is not finished...Rome wasn't build in a day either.

    Frank, where did you get this information about the St.Prassede Church in Rome? It all sounds new to me but I will make further research to find out more. Regards, Antonio

    Love the way you approach the city, from unusual angles but with details and accuracy. A great job, Frank.

    Fantastic page, I've added some new "must sees" for my next trip in Rome, even if I have been there already a couple of times. I really enjoyed reading, thanx! =)

    I am planning on returning to Rome soon and loved all of your tips. Your restaurant tips are so detailed with lots of great pics and your must-see tips are not only accurate but each has its own personal stories. Thanks again, Frank!
