Founding 1

Rome was founded by two twins named Romulus and Remus.

Their father was Mars (The God of war). Their mother was Rhea Silvia. They were kidnapped by their evil uncle

Amulius and abandoned them on the River Tiber.

Founding 2 As they flowed down the river a she-wolf

picked them up and raised them for a few years.

Founding 3

After Mars found them he asked them to build a city.

They started fighting over their ideas for the city and decided to fight to the death so that their problems would be solved.

In the end Romulus won and Remus was killed.

Rome was named after Romulus.

Colosseum

The Colosseum is not only the biggest tourist attraction in not just Rome but all of Italy.

A restoration project costing 25 million euro started in Winter of 2011 and is set to end in Summer of 2014.

Vatican

The Vatican is the home and church of the Pope.

It has its own country called the Vatican City.

The Borgia Family 1

Now this is a much darker part of Italian history

The Borgia Family were the most notorious family in Italian history

The Borgia Family 2

The Borgia Family were known for endless murder, assault, bribery, fraud,thievery and even poisoning.

Even worse was that one of the members was the Pope.

Food

If you have been to Rome then you will know that the food is AMAZING!!!!!

The best food you can have is spaghetti and pizza.
