This year I have many friends visiting Europe during a series of International Conventions being held in various countries in Europe. As a side tour many will be making a detour to Italy. Most will be visiting Rome and I know they will love a visit to this ancient city. Among the basic itinerary of the Trevi fountain, gelato and pizza they will be visiting the Roman Forum and the Coliseum. In this blog I have compiled a few of my favorite things to see and points that helped me put these iconic ruins into perspective.
