Cornetti and expresso

 In Italy, however, there's a long-standing and widely embraced traditional morning meal of an espresso or a cappuccino paired with a buttery pastry, often eaten standing up at a bar or seated at a sidewalk table.

Italian breakfast, and why a cornetto isn’t a croissant

A cornetto (“little horn”) is not a croissant (French for “crescent”)

https://breadcakesandale.wordpress.com/2013/08/26/italian-breakfast-and-why-a-cornetto-isnt-a-croissant/

Italian croissants are called "Cornetto" or in plural form "Cornetti". 

The body is a little different from that of French origin, a bit more dense and brioche-like, and decidedly sweeter. They can be enjoyed plain, filled, or sandwiched with various sweet treats, jam, cream, nutella etc. Having one of them with a strong cafè (espresso) is the winning combination for Italian breakfasts for many

Parking in Rome Italy

• Shower pull cords – Showers and bathtubs in the hotels in Italy have strings or thin ropes hanging from the wall or ceiling, usually somewhere near the faucets, and there’s almost no explanation of what these are. They’re for emergencies, if you fall in the shower and need help, and while they make no sound when you pull them they do alert someone at the front desk. In other words, unless you actually need help, don’t pull those cords.

Rome-Area Sacra Largo di Torre Argentina

Largo di Torre Argentina

360 deg view

Largo di Torre Argentina is a square in Rome, Italy, that hosts four Republican Roman temples, and the remains of Pompey's Theatre. It is located in the ancient Campus Martius.^[1]

The name of the square comes from the Torre Argentina, which takes its name from the city of Strasbourg, whose Latin name was Argentoratum. In 1503, the Papal Master of Ceremonies Johannes Burckardt, who came from Strasbourg and was known as "Argentinus", built in via del Sudario a palace (now at number 44), called Casa del Burcardo, to which the tower is annexed.

The other tower in the square is not the one giving the name to the place, but the Medieval Torre del Papito ("Little Pope's Tower"), attributed by tradition to Antipope Anacletus II Pierleoni, allegedly not a tall person.

After Italian unification, it was decided to reconstruct part of Rome (1909), demolishing the zone of Torre Argentina. However, during the demolition work in 1927, the colossal head and arms of a marble statue were discovered. The archeological investigation brought to light the presence of a holy area, dating to the Republican era, with four temples and part of Pompey's Theater.

Julius Caesar was killed in the Curia of the Theatre of Pompey, and the spot he was believed to be assassinated is in the square.^[2]

This sunken area in the Largo di Torre Argentina contains the remains of four Republican-era temples, all built between the 2nd and 4th centuries BC. These ruins, which are among the oldest in the city, are off-limits to humans but home to a thriving population of around 250 stray cats and a volunteer-run cat sanctuary.

Rome-Palatine Hill

Augustus, Cicero, and Marc Antony (Marcus Antonius) all had homes on the hill. Later, emperors built their domains here and, at one point, the entire hill was covered with imperial palaces. The hill became synonymous with palaces; in fact in many languages, including English, the word 'palace' is derived from 'palatine'.

During the Middle Ages, churches and convents were built on Palatine Hill. Later, almost the entire hill was owned by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, who created an ornate botanical garden on top of the ruins

Sandwiched between the Roman Forum and the Circo Massimo, the Palatino (Palatine Hill) is an atmospheric area of towering pine trees, majestic ruins and memorable views. It was here that Romulus supposedly founded the city in 753 BC and Rome's emperors lived in unabashed luxury. Look out for the stadio (stadium), the ruins of the Domus Flavia (imperial palace), and grandstand views over the Roman Forum from the Orti Farnesiani.

The birthplace of palaces is the Palatine Hill above the Roman Forum in Rome, Italy

Today it's an overgrown, tree-shaded hilltop of pretty gardens and fragments of ancient villas (only a handful of which are open to the public) that few visitors bother to climb.The Palatine Hill was where Rome began as a tiny Latin village (supposedly founded by Romulus) in the 8th century BC. Later it was covered with the palaces of patrician families and the early emperors.
