If you want to plan a program in Rome, Italy...

Why Rome?

The 2000-year old capital, and home to the Vatican State, Rome is unique in both Italy and the world. With a population of more than four million, Rome is a dynamic city, much visited by tourists and pilgrims alike. It is impossible not to be impressed by its religious, classical and cultural heritage, ranging from St.Peter’s Square and Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel to the Coliseum and Roman forum of ancient times to the Romanesque, Renaissance and Baroque churches and monuments built just a few centuries ago. The climate is very temperate and Rome is often described as an unforgettable, and eternally sunny city.
