Roma Eterna | James Horncastle
Store finder
Rome’s founding is linked to a long-held myth involving a god, a she-wolf, and a fraternal rift, and its history continued with even more intrigue-a record on display throughout the city, in all its grandeur. Rome is aptly named the Eternal City, with a never-ending list of must-see landmarks: the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon. But Rome is not just a museum showcasing its past greatness; there is also a modern Rome waiting to be discovered in its cocktail bars, art galleries, and nightlife. While Milan may get all the sartorial glory, Rome is a fashion capital in its own right, home to the headquarters of Fendi, Valentino, Brioni, and Bulgari, to name a few.
